Setup Driver for Epson Perfection 2400 Foto Scanner in MAC OS X 10.8.4

Got my new MacMini this weekend, migrated from  TimeMachine the setup from my previous system (Snow Leopard) - no problem.
When starting the scanner, got error message and replaced EPSON driver by Apple Driver.
However, result is more than disappointing.  I tried scanning with several options.  No way I could get the quality that I am used from the old system - there it was hard to distinguish original from scan.
About Box:  PrinterProxy   Version 8.3 (405.29)
Downloaded  EPSONPrinterDrivers2.14.  Reset Printer System ( deleted all printers in system preferences ) and had system look for the latest.  Same drivers were loaded.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help. Yes I'm able to choose it and I actually solved the problem by finding and downloading the latest driver for the interface on the Avid page. So everything works now.

  • How to access my Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner?

    How can I access my Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner after upgrading from PS CS4 to CS6?
    There is no Photoshop File/Export/Epson scanner listed anymore. I downloaded a TWAIN plug-in and loaded it in the PS Plug-in folder, but that did not help.
    What should I be doing?

  • 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.

  • OS 10.4.4 + Photoshop Elements 2.0 + Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner

    i have an epson perfection 3200 photo scanner which had worked fine importing into photoshop elements 2.0 when i had an imac g3, but i cannot get it to work on my new machine, a powerbook g4 using 10.4.4. epson said it should work (i downloaded the most recent driver) but adobe said that 10.4.4 does not support photoshop elements 2.0 or 3.0. i downloaded 3.0 (they have a month trial) and it acknowledged my scanner for a second but then repeated the error message.
    any thoughts?
    thanks.

    Further to Barbara's suggestions, have you tried uninstalling your scanner and then disconnecting it physically from your PB. Then reinstall the scanner software and any updated drivers with the scanner still disconnected. Then reconnect the USB to the scanner and see whether you have better success. Epson scanners can be fussy (shy?) about being recognised, and I used these steps when I "lost" my Epson 3170 when moving to 10.3.x.
    Barbara is absolutely right about PS Elements 2 and 10.4.4 - I'm also using it regularly with no problems. Since you got it to work with your previous computer and OS, you can also get it to work with your new PB and 10.4.4 - it just may need a little coaxing...

  • Install Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner

    My kernel is a custom built 2.6.3. I am trying to install an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner. It works under SuSE8.2 so there is no fundamental hardware problem. The sane website lists the 3200 as completely supported.
    The system recognizes the scanner, as shown in part of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:
    D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
    P: Vendor=04b8 ProdID=011c Rev= 1.02
    S: Manufacturer=EPSON
    S: Product=EPSON Scanner
    C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA
    I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
    E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
    E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
    The program sane-find-scanner produces:
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x011c) at libusb:001:003
    # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
    # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
    The program scanimage -L produces:
    No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
    check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
    sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
    which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
    The problem appears to be that the system cannot find a driver. Is the driver suppose to come from sane and there is a configuration issue? Is the system suppose to find the driver as a module or compiled-in the kernel? Is there some wild and wonderful dev - devsfs issue?
    Any intel (small i) would be most appreciated.
    Rick

    the generic usb scanner module is no longer in the kernel. any scanner that used it mus use libusb now. to do this first remove any entry you have in any module loading files that load that module.
    next add either one of these lines to your fstab:
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs defaults 0 0
    or
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbdevfs defaults 0 0
    but going by your output so far you would seem to have one of these two lines in fstab.
    anyway either one of those lines will give root only access to your scanner so you will need to give your user access to the device. your can do that in a few ways.
    first you can create a group add your user to it then edit your usbfs line to read:
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs rw,mode=666,gid=<--newgroupnamehere--> 0 0
    or if you have a single user you can edit the line to read:
    none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs defaults,mode=666 0 0
    if this does not work read up on hotplug or add this line to you rc.local:
    chown -R <yourusername>.users /proc/bus/usb/xxx/*
    where the "xxx" represents the three digit number directory in /proc/bus/usb/ that represents your scanner. you can find this by running scanimage -L as root and it will give you two three digit numbers in the output. then look in the number directory/directories for those two numbers and that will be the directory you put in for the xxx.

  • OS X Mavericks, Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner

    Installed OSX Mavericks on my 2010 iMac.  My Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner was working fine but now is not.  Clicked for Software Updates and none found.  Any suggestions?  Epson website say to to the iMac Software Update function but all updates installed already.  

    Same thing happened to me. If software update shows no updates, then you're set. I think Apple did away with the need for third party software and the Epson scanner driver. Now you open any scanner ready software package and go to the "Import from Scanner" (or "Import From Device...") option. Works in Preview. Works in Photoshop CC.

  • My Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Yosemite. The only scanner available is my Epson All-in-One.

    I installed the new Yosemite operating system even though I was afraid something bad would happen. Well. it did. I can no longer scan photos using my photo scanner. I have updated all the drivers and it is still not working. I have an Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner, as well as an Epson WorkForce 845 all-in-one scanner, printer, copier. The 845 is on the network. The V500 is connected to my computer. For some reason, I keep getting the error that my V500 is not connected and when I try to add it, my mac does not find it. I know it is there. It was working before I upgraded. Help

    You may have already done so, but if not...
    Try a different USB cable.
    Reboot your computer
    Launch Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder) and Repair Disk Permission
    in the left pane, click once on the name of your hard disk
    in the right pane, click on the First Aid tab near the top
    under the blank window, click the button "Repair Disk Permissions."
    Afterward, click the "verify disk" button and it will check your hard disk.
    Now, try your scanner...

  • Elements 13 does not recognise Epson Perfection 4990 photo scanner

    I just installed Elements 13 (also have 11 and 12 installed).  I have installed 13 as a 64 bit (windows 8), but cannot get it to recognize my Epson perfection 4990 photo scanner (or Perfect Effects 4, for that matter).  Any ideas?  I copied the PlugIN files from 12 to 13, but so far no dice.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 does not recognize Epson Perfection 4990 Photo Scanner from "File"/"Import"

    I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Elements 11 on a brand new iMac running OS X 10.8.2, but Elements 11 will not recognize my Epson Perfection 4990 PHOTO Scanner as an option to import from when I click on "File" then "Import." Is there a Plug-In that may be missing for this to operate as it used to in Elements 6 running on an older G5 Non-Intel processor?  I don't have the new Elements 11 Disk to copy anything from, since I downloaded the program directly from Adobe.

    I need a driver for Epson Photo Stylus 2200 for my  OS 10.5.8 Power PC G5. Does anyone know where to locate one? Epson does not support this version of the Mac. They have  drivers for 10.4 and 10.6, but not for 10.5. Perhaps there is someone has a clue as to where I can find an original driver disk or download  for the my Epson.

  • Epson Perfection V750 Pro Scanner

    Can anyone tell me if the Epson Perfection V750 Pro Scanner also scans documents, If not does anyone know of a similar scanner which does?

    It scans prints so I think it's just a matter of switching to a "Documents" setting in the software. I have a V700 but have never scanned documents on it. Any cheap flatbed scanner will scan documents so I wouldn't risk scratching your V750 glass or something if you can use something else.

  • Windows 7 driver for Epson Action Laser 1500.

    Need Windows 7 64 bit driver for Epson Action Laser 1500.  I think HP Laser Jet 3Si will work.  I can't seem to find it. Any help?

    I have checked out the Epson website and it appears they do not list the driver for the ActionLaser 1500. I did link a discussion where a user was able to install the printer in Windows 7 by using a parallel to USB adapter. Here is the link: Epson Action Laser 1500
    Have you tried installing the printer using the WIndows Update?
    Thanks
