Title: After update of Windows 10 HP scan jet 6300c stopped working
Post by: Physikfan on March 05, 2018, 12:16:56 PM: Under Windows 10, the HP Scanjet 6300c worked without problems.
After an automatic update to a new version of Windows 10, the scanner stopped working.
Despite much work, I could not use the scanner anymore.
Please, does anyone have any advice?

regards

Physikfan

I was lucky.
After restoring to the previous Windows version 10, the HP 6300C scanneris running again with the same program and driver as before the update.

I have a lot of different old serial/USB interface things that I can only use on a separate offline Windows XP machine, I have given up trying to get all these things to run on windows 10 / modern PC hardware platform.
