If you have a 64-bit version of Windows 10/11, avoid version 1.05.x. Stick to 1.04.22 or the rare 1.06.00 (community patched for x64). The "Green Button" Fallback: The New Alternative If you cannot find a safe old version, or it refuses to install, consider NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner 2). It mimics the UI of Samsung Easy Document Creator almost exactly and supports Samsung Twain drivers natively. It is open source, updated, and will scan to PDF faster than any HP software. Final Verdict Downloading an old version of Samsung Easy Document Creator is a nostalgic gamble . If you succeed, you unlock a perfectly streamlined workflow for a decade-old printer. If you fail, you risk malware or endless DLL errors.

Fast forward to today: Samsung’s printing division was acquired by HP in 2017. Official support has evaporated. The shiny "Easy Document Creator 2.0" might crash on your Windows 10 or 11 machine, or worse, refuse to connect to your vintage 2014 printer. So, why are thousands of users hunting for an old version ? Because the new one often drops support for legacy hardware.
