Scanner driver for HP MFDs 109MB?

Hi!
I have a HP Multi function device (PSC 1410).
It prints perfectly and tells me how much ink I have left without having to download any drivers. OSX seems to work very well with it. However, the scanner doesn't work. I have looked at the HP support site and the OSX driver is 109MB! I can't believe that a scanner driver is that big.
This must also contain useless photo editing programmes. Is there any way I can just get the scanner driver on its own, because I use the mac software and am happy with it, and don't want useless applications on my macbook!
thanks
Karl

I'm assuming that you don't have high speed internet. If you do have high speed internet you can usually extract out software from installers that are pkg installers using http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist. The trick is to know what are the right permissions to give the files once extracted to the locations they work as the drivers.
If you don't have high speed internet, find out which of the local Apple authorized resellers have it, and bring a blank CD-R to burn the driver to, or a flash drive so you can have it handy. Burning it to a PC CD, or using a flash drive on a PC might work, just remember that PC formatted CDs that are formatted ISO 9660 work best on the Mac, and flash drives formatted FAT32 work best on the Mac. If you put it on PC formatted media, drag it onto your Mac desktop before installing. Contact HP to find out which files are necessary for the driver itself.
You can also consider getting a third party scanner driver such as those found on my personal website's FAQ:

Scanner driver for Konica Minolta 1690MF since new operating system Maverick

Scanner driver for Konica Minolta 1690MF will not work since new operating system Maverick.
Update driver came from konica minolta - not through an Apple software update.
Konica M 1690MF will print as normal but 'image capture' is empty.

Same problem. I emailed KM support. Was told new drivers were being considered. Not sure what that means. No date given. Have tried several 3rd party drivers, but none work. Would love for someone to post a solution.

Epson WF3520 scanner driver for OX Maverick

Hi
Does anyone know if or when a new driver for the WF 3520 Epson all in one printer will be relaeased? I have just tried to use the scanner but it says that I cannot use it with my OS X 10.9.1. Luckily, I am able to print but the scanner is a no no, please help!
Thanks

Do you happen to own an iPhone or iPad? If so, I recommend you download the Epson iPrint app to one of those devices. It could find the Epson printer on the network, and one thing you could do is click the printer there, go to Advanced Settings, then Firmware Update. That would update your printer's firmware if there is such an update available. The app also has a scan function, so you could see if that works.

Cannot install scanner driver for Epson 1650 Perfection

This isn't making sense to me. I was running Snow Leopard on another drive and was using my Epson Perfection 1650 scanner just fine. I bought a 2TB drive and installed Snow Leopard and am booting from that now and my scanner isn't recognized. If I try to open the Epson Scan utility, it just quits before it fully opens. I downloaded the scanner driver from Epson's website again and when I try to install it, the installer quits before it is fully open.
I did a Repair Permissions but that didn't help.
I tried manually copying the Epson Scanner Module folder from my Library on the other drive to the Library on this new drive and that didn't help.
I found a webpage on Apple's site listing scanners that are compatible with Snow Leopard and mine is listed. It claims most drivers are installed with the system. If so, how come my scanner isn't working now? But it did work in Snow Leopard on my other drive. I can boot from the other drive and use the scanner now, but I want to be able to use it from this drive.

I have been able to use OmniPage X in Snow Leopard with only one problem. I think it is because I did not try to instal it. It came across with my auto transfer from earlier software/hard drives. It reads documents but does not scan because I haven't transferred over my old twain files. I understand that the OmniPage twain file may not work in Snow Leopard but there is a freeware twain driver which I haven't tried.
So if you are having problems installing OmniPage on your Intel Mac, try copying over the app, (OS9 style) from an older Mac which has an old OSX system on which OmniPage X successfully installed.
I use VueScan to scan pages from my scanner, save the multiple pages as a pdf, open OmniPage and get it to import the pdf file. Then I do steps 2, 3 and 4 manually (though you could do all steps automatically). The result is much better and incredibly accurate text - much better than in the olden days when I could scan directly into OmniPage. The only things occasionally misread are numbers, particularly fractions.
I am scanning two pages at a time and the VueScan OCR, though it otherwise does a quite accurate job, tends to blend the two pages together, so it is not useful for me. It would be far too slow to scan in each page separately.
It's a shame that Caere sold OmniPage to Scansoft. I remember getting regular messages about improved accuracy upgrades and I'd always buy them. Caere cared. Scansoft does not, even though OmniPage still is the best OCR software for the Mac.
If Scansoft is not interested in upgrading OmniPage for the Mac, maybe it should stop hogging it and sell it to someone who would be interested in looking after its users.

Epson Expression 1600XL Scanner driver for Windows 8.1

I have an older Epson Expression 1600XL A3 size scanner. There's no driver for Windows 8 and 8.1 Pro. When I turn the scanner on (on USB), Windows tells me that it is an unknown device. I tried to let the scanner software run in various compability
modes and with administrator rights, but that does not Work. It tells me that "Epson scan cannot start" - probably because the content of the twain32 folder is wrong.
I was advised by Epson to get a an Epson Scan Driver package for another scanner that does comply with Windows 8.1.
The software Works, but it cannot find MY scanner on USB, - it looks only for the scanner the software is made for.
I was then advised to go here and find help for making the Scanner software recognise the scanner.
Any suggestions?

You need to discuss this with the Epson Technical Support. Based on information posted on the Epson Support website, the answer is probably "no":

Scanner driver for Canon DR-2580C desktop document scanner

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a driver for the Canon DR-2580C document scanner which will work with Snow Leopard? The scanner shows up in the System Profiler under the USB section. The Canon web site only lists Windows drivers for the scanner and a Google search was unable to find any reference to a Mac OS X driver. Any suggestions other than purchase a scanner which is Snow Leopard compatible?
Thanks advance!

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
At this point in time, Canon only offers three models of DR scanners with Mac OS X support; the P150, the DR2010C and the DR2510C. Your DR2580C has no official Mac OS X support.
So you could look at third party packages like VueScan or SANE, although these tend to offer support for the consumer scanners rather than the high volume business scanners.
Or you could get a virtual machine application for your Mac like VMware Fusion or Parallels and run Windows XP, Vista or 7. This may prove the cheapest and easiest option if you don't need to scan all the time. But if you need to scan often then I suggest having a Windows computer permanently connected to the DR2580C and share the scans folder so the Mac can connect directly to it.

Scanner driver for Epson AL CX16NF

Hello,
I have a multi function printer Epson AL CX16NF.
I found the driver for the printer but not for the fax and scanner options.
I am using it on my network (wired or wireless).
It works fine under my windows systems.
I use Lion 10.7.1.
Any suggestion?
Cheers

I have contacted Epson and for now it's useless as the driver they give me is for Snowleopard
Now I have done another test.
Deinstalled all my printers, and reinstalled. but without success.
By the way, meanwhile I am experimenting another issue, is that I can print only once when I install the driver and then I am not able

Can't install scanner driver for Konica Minolta magicolor 1690mf

I've successfully installed the printer driver for my Konica Minolta 1690MF multi-function printer/scanner/fax.
However, when I go to try an install the scanner driver, the following error appears:
"mc1690MF Scanner can’t be installed on this computer.
The operation system is not adequate for running magicolor 1690MF."
I am running 10.6.1.
I downloaded the drivers from the konica minolta website, and it claims the drivers are compliant up to 10.5 (http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productid=1167 )
Is there any way to get a scanner driver that is compliant for the snow leopard OS? Is there an alternative to waiting for the manufacturer to update their drivers?

I am having the same problem. I was able to scan last week and suddenly this week image capture cannot find the scanner. The Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690mf prints fine but scanning is not functioning. I looking at drivesr on Konica Minolta's site but there were none for os 10.6.1. I called them in and they could not suggest anything other than reloading the printer. They could not tell me if this was a known problem. The person I spoke with says that with apple making the updates it might be a couple of months before they have a driver for it..... how frustrating I can't use the scanner for a couple of months??? Any suggestions out there?

HP Deskjet 3070A, no scanner driver for Mavericks?

HP Deskjet 3070A - Mac OS X 10.9.2
I just updated to Mavericks. The printerdriver har been uploaded, comes up in "printers and scanners" as "HP Deskjet 3070 B611 series" and it is working fine. But there is no scanner driver. I have done everything the HP supportsite tells me to, but still can not find any trace of a scannerdriver in anywhere. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for the help

Hello Ingebjorg, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are looking into scan options. Due to the age of the printer, there is no HP software available.
I would recommend following this document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac, particularly the section on 'How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?'
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

Mp navigator ex driver for this device not supported when I plug in my ipod I have windows vista

Hello there K_McCreedy,
I saw your post about the scanning issues you have been having with your PS B110a and Mavericks. I have looked into this for you and I would like to offer some suggestions.
First of all, there is no downloadable full feature driver and software (scanning software included) for this model of printer and Mavericks. There are some work around options however, that I will link you to below!
Please follow these steps:
1. Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
2. Repair disk permissions
3. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
(See under link #3 for the different methods of scanning options with Mavericks under the FAQ's section)
I hope I helped answer your question!
Thanks for posting in the community and have a great day

Missing scanner driver for Canon MG3560

Hi there,
I've installed the software for the Canon MG 3560 all in one printer as well as the Canon IJ scan Utility however when I try and launch the scanner utilty it comes up with an error message " A scaner driver supporting this software is not installed. Install it and try again. Code:15,230,0"
And when I try and launch the Quick Menu that runs the printer the scanner section is blank.
Does anyone know what software I need to install to support the canon IJ scan utility? Is it a mac os software install? The printer is working fine so its just the scnner that has issues.
Cheers

This is the log for the IJ Scanner installs - I cant see any install failure but there might be some other info here that makes sense to you?

HP Scanjet 4850 Photo Scanner driver for Mac OS9.x

I need the driver and other information to get my scanner to work.
Driver says that it has unknown author and will not install

Hi 44621,
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as the HP Scanjet 4370 is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP Scanjet 4370 Photo Scanner supportpage helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Scanner Driver for Microtek 5900 that works with OS 10.6.6

Is there a driver available for a Microtek 5900 scanner that will work/be compatible with OS 10.6.6???

I would love the answer to this as well....I tried the latest VueScan and it fails to recognize the 5900. The VueScan website says its supported but requires a driver from Microtek's website but of course there isnt one there. I also tried ImageCapture to no avail.
Next step is to load ScanWizard in to the VirtualBox I have running on my Mac, but I would like a native solution.

Let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
