HP Scanjet G4050 Photo Scanner
I’ve owned several HP products, i.e., 2 printers and this scanner. They are uniformly difficult to use, with very bad software. I’ve needed to reinstall the scanjet software over a dozen times. Every time I use the scanner, it is a different nightmare (software components missing that need to be reinstalled, interactions with other software, the scanner doesn’t respond). My HP printers are also garbage. I would never buy anything from HP again. They make junk.

This Scanner is a pile of #%$@!. It’s as slow as molasses and the quality of the scans are like a $20 digital camera. It is definitely NOT for professionals or for those who value great images.

It’s difficult to get the scanner to work. We have had it for over a month but its been almost useless. Too time consuming to take the trouble. I have other products by HP that work without the frustrations. What should I do?

This is an awful choice for scanning slides. I am a professor and this device was bought for me by my department so I didn’t have a choice. My main intention was to scan lots of slides. The scanner simply does not focus. All of its scans are blurry and bad quality. When we complained, the HP reps did some testing on them and somehow convinced our computer support person that there is nothing wrong with it. I do not recommend anyone to purchase this item. Its support service is also evil.

Upon receipt of this HP Scanjet G4050 I tried to install. I have Windows XP professional, and it would not install. Contacted HP Support and began what turned out to be many hours of e-mails and instant messages with HP Support agents some place in the World. I did everything they told me to do, without any success.
I was told to do certain things that required shutting down the computer which caused me to lose my instant message conact at HP, and then I had to start over with another agent who really didn’t know how to resolve my problem. I have one computer, and their final solution was for me to install on another computer. I suggested they send me known good CD, but no comment from HP. I asked how to contact HP Support management, and that too was not answered. So, I am returning the G4050, and no doubt will not buy any HP products in the future.
