Can't update drivers for Epson Perfection 3170 Photo

My 3rd-Party scanner software (Vuescan) says "no drivers available". Epson's website says that the new drivers are ONLY available through Software Update. Software Update says "no updates available". Now I can't use the scanner ("Epson Scan" software won't run under 10.9).
Epson could've simplified matters by simply letting us download the drivers directly from their website, but apparently no-go. Has anyone found a way around this problem?

Try using the Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

Driver for Epson Perfection 3170 Photo

I have an Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner. It is a fine scanner that has served me well for many years through many different operating systems, Windows as well as Mac OS X.
The scanner software is no longer supported by Epson for OS X Lion. The only way I can now san is by using the drivers that are built into the OS. I can access the scanner either through System Preferences/Print & Scan, or use Image Capture.
Unfortunately, all the scans are of an extremely poor quality. I can no longer scan fibrant colors or stong blacks, the entire scan is now murky and all colors as well as the blacks and greys are faded.
Does anybody have the same experience? Is there a solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, I have the same problem now with my Perfection 3170. I have installed all of the available updates and new ICA scan update. Even tho' it installed a new Epson scan, it would not acknowledge my scanner. From an output point of view, VueScan is not much better but I object to having to pay for something that was free and working when I bought the scanner. However, there is a manual work around in Image Capture that will get you closer to the original scanned source. After the source has been overview scanned, alter the scan parameters. I change "IMAGE CORRECTION" from None to Manual. This brings up 4 individual measurements. All 4 markers or indicators should be in the centre position. Using the indicators like a ruler, make these changes: Brightness - 1.5 to the left of centre (-1.5), Tint: .5 left of centre (-.5), Temperature leave as is, and Saturation: .5 to the right of centre (+.5). Then Scan. The resultant scan is pretty close to OK. In photoshop, I reduce the Cyan and Magent by 10% and the Yellow by 5% and I find that my white is now white according to the info box (0C, 0M, 0Y, 0K). Until Epson can supply a lion compatible driver for this printer I will be using this workaround. Hope this helps you get decent scans again.

Lion update kills scanner drivers for Epson Perfection 1250

Lion Mac OS 10.7 was supposed to have a driver to use my scanner.. but I get no interface and no way to connect and use my scanner..
Anyone else have any luck?
I connected my scanner via USB, and then ran Software Update and it installed something..
When I open my System Preferences/Printer and Scanner I do see a driver.. when I try to connect I just get something loading and I get a blank screen.

What do you mean that you have no interface? Can you open System Preferences > Print & Scan, then select your scanner, and then open the scanner from there? Is there where you are getting a blank screen?
If you do, I would remove the scanner from Print & Scan, use the uninstaller from Epson, which you can get from here: http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 14550&prodoid=6464129&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh
Then, install the scanner again. Updates can be complicated, and perhaps you were using previously some PPC code through Rosetta (which Lion doesn't support.) Re-installing should install Intel64 code, which seems to exist for your scanner according to the page above.

Photoshop CC doesn't 'see' my scanner (Epson Perfection 3170 Photo). I'm on Mac 10.8

There is no 'Twain Acquire' option in menus, nor is there a suitable pluggin showing up in that menu option that would allow me to 'communicate' with my scanner.

Adobe discontinued their old 32 bit Twain plugin for the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS6.
There is no free TWAIN software for 64-bit Photoshop. My recommendation is for the paid 3rd party software, Vuescan, that supports both 32 and 64 bit TWAIN operations in Photoshop for just about any scanner out there. www.hamrick.com
You can use File > Import Images from Device and see if that meets your needs.

I just purchased a Canon MG5220. I have installed all of the updated drivers for 10.7.3. The scanner is working wirelessly, but I can't add my printer. Any ideas?

With most multi-function devices, you need to run the printer manufacturer's setup/configuring program first. That will either "Add" the printer directly, or make it discoverable in the "Add-a-Printer" window. Look around, you probably downloaded that program when you downloaded the Driver.

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer. when it came up, the scanner had already been added again. With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible). I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application. I tried it, and it works quite well.

Can't find drivers for Lenovo G50-30 for Windows 7 32-bit

Hi,
I can't find drivers for Windows 7x32 bit for my new Lenovo G50-30. Looks like Lenovo support doesn't have them. Am I wrong?

hi ziris,
Can you try these drivers:
Chipset:
Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility)
Bluetooth:
Bluetooth Driver (Intel, Atheros, Realtek, Broadcom)
Camera:
(AVC, Bison) Camera Driver
If the above drivers doesn't fix the unknown device under Device Manager, can you follow this guide on how to install the drivers via their Hardware ID or you may want to consider installing Windows 7 64bit (this would be best if you'll be utilizing 4GB RAM and above).
Regards

You might give VueScan a try. It should work with your scanner. There's a demo version that you can use initially.

Updating Drivers for video card?

I have a G5 Quad with an Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT video card (installed by Apple at the time of purchase). I wanted to see if there were any new/updated drivers for my card, but when I go to Nvidia's website the card is not listed, nor are any Mac drivers that I can see. I checked Apple's site, CNET Downloads, and Google, but I'm coming up with nothing.
How are the drivers for video cards updated? Are the drivers included in various OS updates? Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks.

Thanks, maclover. And thanks for the warm welcome
My problem is specific to a piece of software... I'm using Lightwave, and recently added FPrime to Lightwave's functionality. FPrime is a third party plugin, and is widely used in the Lightwave community.
The problem is that if I open FPrime before OpenGL renders the objects in a scene on screen FPrime crashes (hard)... it's like a kernel panic and my only option is to shut down and reboot. However, if I let OpenGL render the objects first then FPrime opens fine.
I'm an active member of the Lightwave community, and I've been in contact with the maker of FPrime regarding this issue. My question about drivers stems from the fact that usually if something like this occurs then it may be related to the need to update card drivers.
Thanks agian.

Go to:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Here choose:
+Notebook+
+Satellite+
+Satellite C+
+Satellite C50T-A+
+All+
+Windows 8.1 64bit+
Now you will get all drivers for this notebook series.
Note: On the page you will find different WLan driver since different WLan modules have been used in the different models.
Just check each of the drivers
To get the Bluetooth working, you need to install additional Bluetooth Filter Driver Package. This depends on the Wlan module your notebook support.
The proper Bluetooth Filter Driver Package I found in Satellite C50T-B series

Can't find drivers for display

Hi, I can't found drivers for display Toshiba TruBrite.
That's why I had frequnce on display only 60 Hz.
Could you help me with this trouble?

LCD technology is different and cannot be compared to old monitors. LCD displays work on 60 Hz refresh rate and this value is fixed. It cannot be changed.
Doe to this fact you cannot change it.
I don't understand what you mean with display definition but if the right (Toshiba offered) driver is preinstalled everything will be OK. There is nothing that must be defined. Absolutely nothing.
TrueBrite or not there is nothing to be defined.
So if the display driver is preinstalled and if you use right display resolution everything is OK.
Be happy and have fun with your toy. ;)
