![]() This is a fork of the NAPS project with many improvements. Want to see NAPS2 in your preferred language? Help translate! See the wiki for more details. NAPS2 is currently available in over 30 different languages. Scan your documents from WIA- and TWAIN-compatible scanners, organize the pages as you like, and save them as PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and other file formats. Creates selectable/searchable text.Visit NAPS2's home page at NAPS2 is a document scanning application with a focus on simplicity and ease of use. The save as PDF with the OCR is particularly helpful to me. Using with Brother HL-L2380DW hardwired USB. I'm on Windows 11 and also just downloaded naps2. However, I should note that I'm still running Windows 10, so that might make a difference for some folks. Just make sure the printer is on the same network as your computer if you have multiple networks, as I do. Thanks again for the lead!įWIW, I downloaded naps2 and it recognized two of my Epson printers and allowed me to easily set them up and scan from them with no problem. But the naps2 software downloaded just fine, and I have used it to have the brother machine run a test scan, make a pdf, and could email it just fine. No longer have the passport software, and also no disc drive. NAPS2 is a good tool that helps scan documents to PDF and several file formats. ![]() ![]() I have an older brother MFC-7340, USB connection to a new HP windows 11 laptop. I downloaded and tested naps2, and it works great for me. It's definitely worth a try and if it keeps another piece of equipment out of the landfill, then so much the better. It looks like there's now a NAPS2, which is also open source and it appears there are people reporting success with win11. The ink has long ago clogged beyond repair, but it works fine as a scanner. I've been using an ancient (~2004) multifunction inkjet w/ a flatbed scanner on a windows 10 machine using NAPS (Not Another Pdf Scanner). The PP14 exe file won't download the actual software onto the computer, presumably because I am not connected to a printer that comes with PP14 (my printer came with PP12). The PP12 exe file won't download the actual software onto the computer, presumably because it is a Windows 11 computer and it only works up to win 10? From the Brother site, I can download both the PP12 and PP14 exe files. The issue with PaperPort is that the download exe file from the Brother site is apparently NOT the actual PaperPort install, but maybe just an exe file to download the actual Paperport software from another site. I have no idea how to get "a working TWAIN driver". However in NAPS2, the only option once I connect the printer/scanner USB cable to the computer is "WIA Driver." "TWAIN Driver" remains greyed out. Since it is open source it may be an even better, more BH type option than Paper Port, as I can presumably continue using it with any scanner! Yes, I downloaded NAPS2, and it seems to work reasonably well so far. Is the issue that the PaperPort program didn’t work or that the Windows driver didn’t work? My assumption is that a scanning program like NAPS2 expects a working TWAIN driver. However I occasionally need a home printer, and don't have space for 2 machines, so until someone comes out with a very compact sub $200 multifunction color laser printer/scanner, I'll keep the hardware I have - I'm seeking just a software solution). (Note: I'm aware of the recommendations to get a dedicated scanner that comes with it's own software. Changes in 7.2.0: - Scanner Sharing - Share scanners with other computers on the local network, for example: - Turn a desktop-connected USB scanner into a wireless scanner usable from your laptop or phone - Allow Windows-only scanners to be used. Is it safe to buy PaperPort 14 off of ebay, as long as it comes via a CD (as opposed to download)? Will PaperPort 14 upgrade to PP 14.7? So what software do the scanning BH's recommend? Should I just buy PP14, or is there a better solution? Although Kofax still sells PaperPort 14, it does not seem to be its focus. I started to simply buy PaperPort 14, until I realized PaperPort 14 was released about 10 years ago, and the company that made it (Nuance) has since been acquired by Kofax. I also learned Brother won't let me download PaperPort 14, as that did not come with my printer/scanner.Īs a result I need to acquire a scanning software solution. Setting up a new Windows 11 computer, I learned PaperPort 12 is incompatible with Windows 11, and thus won't install. Following the advice from other threads, my scanning solution has been a Brother multifunction printer/scanner, using PaperPort 12 scanning software that came with the printer/scanner, which OCR's all scanned documents.
