ScanEventHandler is a utility from HP that manages scan button events on HP multifunction printers and all-in-one devices connected to a Mac. It allows users to trigger scanning from the physical button on their printer, routing the scanned document to appropriate applications or folders as configured. The app runs quietly in the background and serves as the integration layer between the printer hardware and macOS, enabling convenient one-touch scanning workflows. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of ScanEventHandler exists and has been confirmed running on multiple Macs in our community. Since no search results were available to pinpoint the exact download channel, your best approach is to visit HP's official support website for your specific printer model and look for the latest macOS driver and utility package — HP typically bundles ScanEventHandler with their full printer driver suite, and the current version should ship as a Universal Binary. Alternatively, if you originally installed HP software via their software update utility on your Mac, that tool should offer an update that will pull the native build automatically. Check your Applications folder for "HP Printer" or "HP Utility" and look for a software update option. Once you update to the latest HP driver package for your printer model, ScanEventHandler will be replaced with the native version and should offer better performance and battery life than the Intel build running under Rosetta.
