Hewlett Packard HP Scanjet 8290 Digital Flatbed Scanner > Download Drivers, Utilities and Firmware

This is the full software installation for HP Photo and Imaging v7.1.9 for the HP Scanjet 8200 series scanners.
NOTE: This release fixes problems caused by Apple's Security update, including:
Empty destination list
Buttons not working
However, this download does not contain any third party software.
IMPORTANT: This is an extremely large file (over 140mb) that may, depending on your connection speed, take many hours to download.

This software updates the HP scanjet 8200 series digital flatbed scanners firmware to version 1.06. This firmware update resolves communication errors seen when scanning high resolution slides or negatives from the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th positions in the TMA (transparent media adapter).
This problem may also result in "The HP imaging device could not be initialized…" errors on the computer. You may also see a "DMA Timeout" error on the front panel display on the scanner.
Only install this update if your scanner exhibits any of the problems described above.
IMPORTANT: After installing the update, the software will prompt you to shut down the computer. You must allow the computer to shut down to complete the firmware update process.
Once the computer is shut down, disconnect the power cable from the scanner. Wait a few moments (about 10 seconds) and reconnect the power cable. Only once that is done, should you turn the computer back on.
Once the computer is back on, the firmware update should be completed. If you continue to receive any of the above errors after updating the firmware, a hardware failure could be the cause. Please contact HP Customer Care for further assistance.

The exact text of the errors and the severity of related system problems vary from scanner to scanner.
If you don't have one of the full versions of Adobe Acrobat 6.0, you do not need this update. This problem does not affect scans using HP director even when Acrobat 6 is installed on the system.

This update fixes a problem when trying to create a mirror, or flip, a black and white image in HP photo and imaging.

This update will upgrade the firmware in your HP scanjet 8200 series scanner to version 1.06.
Install this update only if you are having the problem described below:
This software updates the firmware to resolve errors seen when scanning slides or negatives from the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th positions in the TMA (transparent media adapter). You may get the error "The HP imaging device could not be initialized. An error occurred communicating with the device." You may also see a "DMA Timeout" error on the front panel display.
If you continue to receive the "DMA Timeout" error after updating the firmware in your scanner this may instead indicate a hardware failure. Please contact HP Customer Care for further assistance.
After installing the update, the software will prompt you to shut down the computer.
IMPORTANT: In order for the firmware to be updated, you must allow the computer to shut down.
Once the computer is shut down, disconnect the power cable from the scanner. Wait a few moments (10 seconds or so) and then reconnect the power cable to the scanner. Once the power supply is reconnected to the scanner, turn the computer back on.

This software provides TWAIN drivers as an alternative to the hp photo and imaging software v2.2 scanning software that comes with the hp scanjet 8200 series of scanners.
These TWAIN drivers are an efficient way to gain access to TWAIN functionality. Many document management systems do not require all of the extended features included in the hp photo & imaging software v2.2.
Without these alternative TWAIN drivers, the entire hp photo & imaging software package must be installed in order to have access to a TWAIN driver. Moreover, alternative TWAIN drivers offer users a streamlined workflow for heavy document management and require less hard drive space for installation than hp photo and imaging scanning software.
Before installing and using the alternative TWAIN drivers, users should be aware that no user interface is supplied with the TWAIN drivers. In most cases the software used with these TWAIN drivers will control the scanning process and the results will be completely satisfactory.
However, it should be noted that some applications, like ScanSoft's PaperPort, rely heavily on the host scanner's TWAIN user interface to change settings such as resolution, color level and page size. Because of the lack of a user interface with these alternative TWAIN drivers, and thus no opportunity (except in some applications) to change the scan settings, this software will not be ideal for all customers.
