BB Link stops my Epson scanner...

So suddenly BB Link began working on Easter-day's night and it's now working fine.
But there's a little problem that I've always had, even when Link didnt work. When BB Link is installed, my Epson scanner doesnt work. When i double click on Epson Scan to start the scanner, it doesnt load and then I get a message saying that I have to check if the scanner is connected and so on. Long story short: if BB Link is installed, my scanner doesnt start. If it's not installed, scanner works flawlessly. I have an Epson Stylus Office BX305FW Plus printer, fax, scanner.
Does anyone else get this problem? Any suggestions? Please help Thanks.

I am having the same problem with an Epson Workforce 635.
You can stop the Blackberry Link Communication Manager Service from running on your PC and the scanner will work. Just restart the service when you wan to use BB LInk.

Why does Image Capture stop recognizing Epson scanner after scanning several images? I have to stop and start the scanner in order for Image Capture to recognize it again.

Might be corrupted preferences (.plist)
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.image_Capture.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.image_Capture.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac and your scanner and try scanning an image.

Epson Scanne stops during scan

Hi,
Im on an iMac 2GHz G5 with 1GB RAM running OS X 10.4.8 with an Epson Perfection 2580 Photo scanner attached via USB.
Up to a couple of weeks ago, the scanner was working fine with both Photoshop Elements 3 and also the Mac Image Capture program. But recently after providing a preview and then starting a scan, the scanner bar scans to the end of the document and then just stopps. It stays at the end of the scanner for about 10mins and then returns to the front, in which time Photoshop has crashed and you have walked away!
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the Epson Scan driver software from their website and currently have version 3.1.0 installed. Rebooting is the only way to access the scanner when it stops working and today I deceide to have a look at the system logs.
The main system log shows the scanner activation and then posts and entry:
"Feb 12 11:22:36 sue-craigies-imac-g5 crashdump[435]: EPSON Scanner crashed
Feb 12 11:22:37 sue-craigies-imac-g5 crashdump[435]: crash report written to: /Users/suecraigie/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/EPSON Scanner.crash.log"
(I can foreward the Crash log to an email address if needed)
At the end of the system log a particular entry is repeated about 15 times:
"Feb 12 11:25:10 sue-craigies-imac-g5 /Applications/Image Capture.app/Contents/MacOS/Image Capture: CGContextSetLineWidth: invalid line width: negative values are not allowed."
Does anyone know what is going on, or more importantly, how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance,
Daniel Craigie

Daniel Craigie-
How full is the hard drive that you are trying to save to? Not that it should matter, but have you tried scanning another document?
Is the scanner plugged directly into the Mac? Try it that way.
Disconnect all peripherals except keyboard, monitor, mouse and scanner and see if the problem goes away.

Wish to purchase v600 epson scanner have heard conflicting opions on how to install.. use software cd that comes with scanner or use outside software lie nuvue

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

Epson scanner not work with Mountain Lion?

I have an Epson Expressio 1600Pro scanner with transparency adaptor. It has worked perfectly with previous Macs using OSX 10.4. I have recently bought a MacBook pro and upgraded it to OSX 10.8. I went to Epson's website to get a new driver etc. That tells you it can only be downloaded via Mac Software Update. That was duly done and installed. System prefs lists it under printer and scanners. OK
I have also installed Photoshop Elements 11 and expected to be able to scan direct to there but nothing seems possible. Going to Help says use Image capture or Preview. Yes! there is a small very rudimentary scanning window appears in both apps. Now the problem! Nothing happens. I have tried ALL the various meagre settings on offer, changing size, resolution, custom etc and all that happens is a small rectangle of a scan occurs but no resulting file.
I have been on to Epson who say ONLY image capture will work with 10.8 but as it is a 3rd party software they can offer no assistance. Well image capture does NOT work. I have spent all afternoon trying various things like restarting, unplugging, reconnecting etc etc nothing.
10.8 does seem very buggy. I have even had to stop using Mail and Safari simply because it doesn't work whereas Thunderbird and Firefox work very well.
But I digress, does anyone have any thoughts please?

The following comments are based on installing an Epson RX700 All-in-one printer/copier/scanner so they may not be applicable to you but, for what it's worth here they are. The RX700 scanner worked perfectly with Snow Leopard and then Lion but, when I changed to Mountain Lion, and used the app store to download and install the drivers, I lost the Epson scanner utility (ie. the user interface that gives you all the scanner options).
However, if I used System Preferences and then the Print and Scan option, it brought up a small window where I could select either Print or Scan. Selecting Scan or Open Scanner from this window then opens up a window with all the scanner options in it, including an overview scan. This window has the option to either Hide Details (all the detailed scanner options - resolution, size, output file name etc) or Show them. As far as I can see, this window is actually the Image Capture app, although it doesn't say so.
It might be a long shot but try changing the Auto Selection box in this window to one of the other options (eg. "Detect Separate Items") or setting the "Scan to" to a file.

EPSON Scanner driver 3.03 (June 2007 release) for 4870

This is just a quick FYI for anyone unfortunate enough to have to reinstall there epson scanner drivers. Recently my epson 4870 scanner stopped working with my computer, tried all the usual stuff, permissions, restarting, unplugging other stuff etc. to no avail. So I phoned epson support.
They asked me to delete several epson related files in various folders - some files that I was asked to delete could not be found in the folders they asked me to look in. I pointed out that the driver software had an uninstall option, they said this wouldn't remove all the files.
We emptied the trash, installed the new 3.03 software and restarted, plugging things back in, repairing permissions etc. It still didn't work, I pointed out that 'epson scanner monitor' was no longer in the applications folder - I was told this wasn't required.
Curiously, in the apple system profiler under firewire the scanner seems to be shown as the letter 'G' manufacturer as just 'E' which I thought was strange. If I plug in using a USB cable it will display correctly under the USB list.
To cut a long story short, we spent over an hour going over and over this process, changing firewire cables, trying different ports, redownloading software and in the end I was told to contact apple as it had to be a problem with my machine (and also as it wasn't a PC he couldn't help any further).
I managed to dig out the original installer disk (epson scan, vers 2.0) that came with the machine several years ago, deleted previous files and reinstalled from that. It worked straight away, although I'm anticipating a few problems as this is so out of date.
I wondered if anyone has had similar problems and had managed to find a better solution.

I had a similar experience with the immediately previous version of EpsonScan, so I downloaded and installed 3.0.3 and things got worse. I then unplugged the scanner, uninstalled and reinstalled 3.0.3, thus far it is working. I hope it is not as buggy as 3.0.2

Can't use my epson scanner

Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the right forum...
I've installed the Mac driver for my Epson 2400 photo... when I start Image Capture the scanner starts straight away, but no other apps can find it (e.g. Acrobat, Photoshop)... they should be able to as it's a TWAIN device.
Has anyone got any suggestions...as a new Mac user I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this?
Thanks
Nige

nigelj and others having issues with the drivers for the Epson GT-2500
I decided to configure the scanner to work both inside the CS3 apps and outside as a stand alone.
I was successful. The prior issue I had - where the Espon Scan Utility would not start on its own as a stand alone interface - was caused by my having installed the more recent drivers 2.95A over those that came on the Epson installation CD.
I was able to correct the problem by doing the following:
1. Turn off and unplug the USB cable from the Epson scanner (either should work I did both just to be safe).
2. Insert the original Epson installation CD and follow the prompts until you get to the Easy Install prompt.
3. Select uninstall. This will remove the previous install(s) of the scanner software.
4. Re-boot the machine or shout it down and re-start. (I did this as a precaution).
5. Download the 2.95A driver from Epson (link is in my previous post above).
6. Open the installer file. It will open a folder on your desktop.
7. Double click the Setup file. It runs automatically.
8. If you check your Applications folder you should find an Epson Scanner Monitor app. It will disappear once you plug in and turn on your scanner.
9. Plug in and turn on the scanner. (You can check the Epson utility in the Applications/Utilities Folder to see if the scanner is Ready)
10. Test the Epson Scan Interface (icon of a scanner) in the Applications folder. It should open with 2.95A on the splash screen that appears when it starts. Close it and then open Acrobat Professional. The GT-2500 should already be selected and ready to go.
Incidentally, I have OS X 10.5.2 (I believe the most current version of Leopard) and this is my only scanner on this machine.
I hope this helps!

Epson Scanner requires "G3 or later"

We are considering the purchase of an Epson scanner that lists "G3 or later with built-in USB" as part of the Mac compatibility requirements. It has 2 built-in USB ports, but I'm embarrassed to say, I have no idea what G3 means in this context... The processor (it's an iMac 5) is an Intel Core Duo 2. We are a not-for-profit and received the iMac as a donation, never used still in box, so we can upgrade it if necessary, but what is G3? Is that a processor? Help...
Message was edited by: LibertyAmy

LibertyAmy,
Welcome to Apple Support Discussions.
G3 is referring to an earlier model of iMac using what was called a G3 micro processor. In short, it's a machine that was made prior to your Intel Core 2 Duo. What you need to do to find out if the scanner is compatible is to:
1. Check what version of OS X is on your iMac. This is easily done by clicking on the  in the upper left of your screen and click About this Mac. It will tell you exactly what version of OS X is installed.
2. Go to Epson's web site and then search for the model scanner and see if it supports the version of OS X you have installed on your iMac.
NOTE: If Epson doesn't directly support it you can purchase VueScan. Simply click on the link and it will take you to the correct location. This tool is designed to work with most scanners and tends to get very good reviews.
Regards,
Roger

I have an Epson scanner that is apparently no longer supported because it is a PowerPC app. It's a very good scanner that worked fine until I upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions on how I can continue to use it?

For that model, Epson has this information:
ICA Scanner Driver

Description: The latest Mac OS X ICA scanner driver for your Epson product is available only via Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get it:
1. Connect the all-in-one or scanner to your Mac and power it on.
2. Select the  menu, then Software Update.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the available updates.
Note: Software Updates may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates by clicking on Show Details.
Compatible Systems: Mac OS X (v10.8.x)

I upgraded to 10.8.4 and now it won't let me use my Epson scanner, saying "power pc applications are no longer supported." How do I make it work?

I upgraded to 10.8.4 and now I can' use my Epson scanner I get a message saying, "ou can't open the application Epson Scan apps because Power PC applications are no longer supported." I also can't synch my old Palm Pilot for the same reason.
How can I fix this?

We need to sort out some facts here first:
• You cannot be running Mt. Lion on your iMac G5. What Mac is it? What is the Model Identifier listed in About This Mac; More Info; Hardware Overview
• What is the model of your Epson Scanner?
• Have you attempted to scan using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder?
• Your Palm Pilot software will only run in Snow Leopard; so depending upon which Mac you have, you will either have to:
1) partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it to "dual-boot" when you want to access you Palm software, or
2) install Snow Leopard Server (now available from Apple for $20 telephone orders USA & Canda only) into Parallels 8 to run your Palm software in Mt. Lion:

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.
