Epson scanner driver download compatible to OS Tiger

I own a Power Mac G4 and an Epson Expression 1640XL scanner.
I recently upgraded the OS to Tiger and realized afterward that Epson website doesn't offer a download of a driver that is compatible to Tiger. It supports up to OS 10.3.
Does anybody have any suggestion as to what I should do next in order to make the scanner compatible to Tiger?
FYI, I called Epson support but the recorded voice warned me that there will be a charge of a little over $9.00 to speak to a tech support so I decided to go this route.

Kappy,
Thanks for a prompt response.
So I suppose it is safe to download TWAIN Driver and Epson Scan Utility v2.64A from their site even though it mentions that it is for OS X (v10.2.x - 10.3.x) and nothing above it.
Let me try that and I'll get back to you.
Thanks again!

How can I hook up an epson scanner (2480/2580) via USB/Firewire hub- APEBS and be able to operate the scanner with both laptop and desktop computer?

My Artisan50 works in this configuration currently!

You can't scan to a device connected to the base station's USB port. Devices other than computers with both USB and FireWire ports don't provide any crossover between the technologies unless specifically noted in their description.

3050A Scanner won't talk to my Mac OSX 10.6.8

I originally had the issue where the scanner was simply scanning a portion of the page (mentioned and solved in another thread here). However, my problem has now grown....
I was temporarily able to the scan images correctly by going through the Applications folders and clicking on the Scan 3 icon and directing the scan from this. However, now even this won't work and the scanner doesn't communicate at all with my Mac OSX 10.6.8 - I can't even get it to scan from the control panel on the product. The printer works fine - however I haven't acutally checked the printer again since doing the following:
I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled. I have checked for updates and it is indicating that I have updated software, yet when I click on HP Utility, I get the following error msg:
Some components installed on your computer were developed for another version of HP Utility. These components will not be loaded and some functionality related to your device will not be accessible. Please click HP Support item on the toolbar to visit HP Online Support site and download the latest versions of HP software.
I did this but I keep getting the msg that my software is up to date. So what now?
I have noticed that there are 2 scan icons in the Applications folder and one of them doesn't register the product at all when clicked. The Scan 3 icon used to work, but now just perpetually tries to open a connection with the printer and never can, when I try to cancel it it then goes into perpetual canceling mode and the only way I can shut it down is to Force Quit.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this before I throw my new HP 3050A off of the balcony

Can someone recommend a good multi-function scanner/printer/copier that works with Mac OS 10.6.8?

I've just purchased a Canon Image Class MF4570dn. Very disappointed to find that whatever I do I cannot get the scanner to work & the Apple support board is of no help.
It seems like there is a conflict with OS 10.6.8 that does not let the scanner get recognized by any scanning software -- either the Mac native software in Preview or the Canon software included on CD with the box & via download from Canon's site. The Canon software is called "MF Toolbox" but for the life of me I can't get it to start without instantly crashing!
Any suggestions of set-ups that are working with you on a similar system set-up would be much appreciated!

This is discouraging! I ended up trying Canon because my Macbook Pro suddenly stopped recognizing my previous HP scanner -- a MF inkjet printer.
I have been looking at HP multi-function lasers in lieu of this faulty Canon I just returned.
I intend to be doing very simple things with whatever MF unti I end upw ith -- no printing or scanning over the network. I'm happy to connect it directly to my computer via USB. So I'm not sure I'd experience the problems you are having.
Maybe I should go w/ one of these Brother units? Is there anyone on this board that can attest to these machines working with MacBook Pros?

Will my printer and scanner work with the new intel mac?

My first post.. so I hope i am in the right place! (was in wrong place last attempt!)
I want to buy the new intel...but I would like to know for sure if it will work with my scanner and printer.
Printer is Epson Stylus Photo 2100 and the scanner is Microtek ScanMaker 4900.
I have emailed both Epson and Microtek... phoned Epson.. and I still do not know the answer.
The responses were
"At this point in time with have been given no information on whether our printer drivers will work or not....".
"Yes it will work with OSX 10.4"
"As you know this new intel chip has just hit the market. This particular configuration is in the alpha stage of testing. As of now there has not been any reports or customer correspondence of any concerns."
I have been scanning these posts and it seems that only the operating system is relevant? If anyone could help I would appreciate it. I am finally able to replace my old, old, well loved G4 but am worried I will make the wrong decision.

Thanks all for the helpful comments. I am getting closer to going out and buying the intel. As for the Canon printer... its not really an option for me, since the Epson cost me more than the computer will! But I will keep it in mind for the future. And do you think this applies to digital cameras as well Tomzo? I have been considering buying my first digital.. and thought the pentax might be best, since it apparently can use the lenses from my film camera.
Thanks again all..I will keep checking the apple site list and the web sites as suggested by you.

How do I create a PDF from a scanner that is installed on my Mac but not recognized by Adobe?

I have recently downloaded a copy of Adobe Acrobat. I would like to use my scanner to create PDF's through Adobe Acrobat. The problem is that when I attempt to create a document within Acrobat, I cannot seem to chose the scanner, it is not available. The scanner is an HP Photosmart 5510 and has been installed on this computer for years. Please help.

Many of the HP Multi Purpose Units you have to Manually switch to Scanner In System Preferences > Printer & Scanners.
Before the scanner will show up in Acrobat.

Photosmart C309g - Scanner session fails to open on Mac

I've had this printer (all-in-one) for a few years. It has always been troublesome, unreliable, flakey. Firstly, the much talked about networking issues. I think I've fixed that, for printing at least. Now the scanner, which has worked intermittently, will not work at all - I mean, when I open up the System Prefs > Print Fax > Scan > Open Scanner - it fails to open session.
I have just dumped the old HP software, downloaded the whole installation again and reinstalled. HP Scan just doesn't even find the device. And when I try to scan from the printer to the Mac, the Open in Preview plug-in 'Unexpectedly Quits' every time. This printer/scanner has been an expensive mistake. Soooo frustrating! I have searched the Forums, but could only find one other relevant question on this, from 2009 and the only suggestion there was to 'reinstall', which i have done. The HP drivers for Mac seem really poor.
Any suggestions/known bugs/fixes out there?

Hi,
Please clarify your Mac OS X version, that can be found by clicking the Apple icon and then About this Mac.
That may help to better understand what may cause a such,

Best scanner for lotsa 35mm negs on MAC

I've seen the Epson v700 mentioned as a good scanner, not toooo ridiculously high priced.
But I've read that it uses Silverfast software which is a nightmare for mac users (I know this from experience).
Will photoshopCS4 work with this scanner?
Can anybody recommend any other scanner under a thousand dollars?

You will get epson scan with it wont you?, the silverfast software is an extra. The Epson stuff is very good,even the cheaper models. We've also got an old epson perfection connected to our minilab, its been used six days a week for the last five or so years and its still going strong. Digital ice will take out the dust and scratches for you (but not on kodachrome or proper black and white film) . Weve also got a microtek 1800f which I went for because it has a glassless system for holding the film (to avoid Newton rings) but I find the epson doesnt suffer from this anyway even when laying a neg straight onto the glass. We had a Nikon film scanner for a while, it gave lovely results with the multi sampling turned up but was very slow. The other option is to find someone with a Noritsu minilab, ours gives very good results and it will be alot less tedious for you.

Where can I download Epson scanner software that is Mavericks compatible

I am using Mavericks. The Epson site says to use the Mac OS Software Update to find Maverick-compatible drivers, which are only available from Apple. But my search says there are no updates available. Am I missing something?

It may be here:

Epson GT-20000 scanner doesn't work wiressly in Mac OS 10.8.4

Hi there! I have the Epson GT-20000 scanner and It doesn't work wiressly anymore in Mac OS 10.8.4. I've already read several customer support articles from Epson and Apple, but no one can tell how to scan wiressly, Same thing happen to me If I try to scan directly from Acrobat 10.1.7 Pro, the scanner is no recognized by Acrobat. I'm so dissapointed!!
My last MacBook was running under Mac OS 10.5.8 and I never experienced this kind of troubles before!
Why It has to be so complicated when It's suposed to be easier???
Any suggestions?? (pls consider that return to my old Macbook is not a valid suggestion)
Thank's a lot!

This supposedly works, but costs $40. There is a try before you buy.

Canon scanner Lide 50 with my new mac 0s x 10.9.2

my canon scanner (Lide 50)can't communicate (no driver needed?) with my new mac 0s x10.9.2

Have you downloaded the driver for it and added it to System Preferences/Print and Scan?
Try Applications/Image Capture.

HT204135 I have a MacBook Air and bought a Canon MP495 printer scanner with WiFI. Since the Mac gas no disk drive and had to down load the printer, scanner drivers and a navigation and network software from Canon's website. How do I get the software to wo

I have down loaded printer,scanner drivers and 2 applications Navigator and Network from Canon's website. I cannot seem to get these to run althought the printer works when connected to the Mac with a LAN cable Canon's documentation is useless because it relies on downloading a disc which you cannot do without a CD drive that MacBook Air does not have. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks
Stephen
