EPSON CX3810 Printer/Scanner - need drivers to get the scanner to work

Finally got this default printer to work on my new macbook pro. I had to get a driver for the printer off the Epson website. Downloaded the EPSON CX3800 Guten v.5.2.3. Printer works.
Epson shows no drivers to get the scanner section working, same with Apple.
Does anyone know of any work arounds to get the scanner section working on the EPSON CX3810 printer/scanner?

This was originally a Windows-only device. There is only limited support for it on a Mac. This 'limited' support is basically low-level printing support only. There does not appear to be any support for the scanner section for anything other than Windows.
As this was not one of Epson's more popular devices, 3rd-party support is also limited. It is unlikely that you will get 3rd-party scanner support if VueScan doesn't work.
This device is discontinued. This means that support from Epson will be even more limited in the future than it is now. Translation: if it doesn't work now, odds are good that it will never, ever, work.
I'd get a new MFD. Preferably one which ships with Mac support in the box. Brother, Canon, HP, and, yes, Epson, all make machines which will work. (I'd stay far away from Lexmark, but that's me.)

[SOLVED] Need some help getting the sound to work again

Recently I changed the motherboard and CPU to an AM3 platform, everything works with my previous setup except sound.
Reinstalling alsa-utils and rebooting had absolutely no effect. Google didn't help either.

Damn ASUS font... It's "VIA VT1708S" (number one, not the letter "i") ! Duh. No wonder Google couldn't find any info.
Still, any ideas ? Or would you just rather let me squirm a little and diagnose the problem myself ?

sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
(I think it's what you tried to tell me, igndenok)
Great. It took the bulk of my day trying to figure out how to get this thing to work.
VolWheel is now set to adjust "Master Front" (it was previously set to "Master" with the old motherboard) and the Sonata volume bar apparently works too, just like I wanted (adjusting the PCM volume by default). Good. Great ! Now I just need to set the "snd-hda-intel" module to load at boot so I don't have to type "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" all the time and this thread can be considered SOLVED.
sudo nano /etc/rc.conf
...and add the following:
MODULES="... snd-hda-intel ..."
(also removed snd-ac97-codec from the list because that's what the old mobo used)
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP !
PS: Just out of curiosity, why is it called "snd-hda-intel" ? Why intel ? The CPU is AMD, the chipset is Nvidia nForce, sound is VIA...
Anyone know ? I'll subscribe to this topic just in case anyone knows. Thanks again.

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

Just upgraded to Mavericks. How do I get my Epson Workforce 360 scanner to work again?

Try Image Capture, which comes with your Mac. It should be in the Applications folder, or if not, try the Applications/Utilities folder. It should automatically find the right Epson driver for your scanner.
Also, I'm guessing you have Epson 630 rather than 360. If so, see this from Epson Website.
The latest printer and scanner drivers for this product are available from Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get them:
Do one of the following:
USB
Connect your product to your Mac using a USB cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Wireless
Connect your product to your router wirelessly and make sure the product is turned on.
Note: You'll need to use the product's control panel to establish the connection to your router.
Ethernet
Connect your product to your Mac using an Ethernet cable and make sure the product is turned on.
Select the menu on your Mac, then Software Update.
Do one of the following:
If you see an update from Epson, select UPDATE to install it.
Note: Apple Software Update may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates.If an update is not available, you're done. You already have the latest drivers from Apple.
Note: You can also use EPSON Scan if it's available for your product. To get it, go to the Epson main support page, select your product, then select Drivers & Downloads. Select Drivers, then Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility.
For more information on scanning in OS X, see our Image Capture FAQ.

Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print?

Anyone else have a problem printing from an iMac OS-X 10.9.3 to a wireless Epson 835 Artisan printer? Sometimes it prints but must often I get "The printer is not connected" and I have to retry printing 8, 10 or 12 times before it will print? I have followed all the instructions from Epson about upgrading, etc. but it is very frustrating when I have to repeatedly try to print. Epson says talk to Apple???

Try checking thru these, maybe some help.

You cannot use USB. It has to be a network capable printer.. is it?? You did not indicate how it is connected.. but by wireless or ethernet then scanning is possible otherwise not.

I updated the epson printer drivers like it asked, only to find out that my epson 1400 is not compatible on 10.8, the original driver worked fine, but now it prints terrible, how do I re-install back to original?

Do you have a TM backup or a clone? If so, erase the drive and restore with TM or clone back.
If not you'll have to reformat and re-install the OS that shipped with your Mac. If it shipped with Lion or ML you can do the restore from your Recovery Volume
EDIT: I assume you are saying that you just installed 10.8?

Epson Perfection 2450 scanner not working with Mavericks

My Epson Perfection 2450 scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Mavericks, it is not recognizing the scanner. Tried restarting, using a different USB cable, a different USB port, etc...with no luck. The issue is that my computer no longer seems to recognize that I plugged it in. Tried it with Image Capture, Photoshop, Preview and even the old Epson software.
I tried downloading the Epson Scan Patch for Mavericks released on Oct 31, 2013. That did not help either.
I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.3.
Love this scanner and don't want to have to buy another. Any help to get my Mac to recognize it would be greatly appreciated.

Syd,
My wife's iMac with 10.6.6 stopped working with her Epson 2480 Photo scanner. Get the error message "SCANNER reported an error. An error has occurred during scanning" I am trying to use it from the Image Capture App or from the print/fax option in Settings which opens Image Capture. I ran the uninstall program and then reinstalled the ICA 13969 .dmg but get the same error. Not sure what else I can do.

You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When I installe Firefox version 4 my finger print scanner quit working. Any fixes for this?

I downloaded and installed Fire Fox 4.0 a few weeks ago. As soon as I downloaded the new software, my finger print scanner quit working. The scanner light that normally appears when ever there is a request for entering a user name or password no longer turned on and the scanner was no longer functional. I removed the new Fire Fox version and re-installed version 3.6.17. My finger print scanner is now working again.

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

HP Photosmart Printer-cannot get the apps to work with a USB hook up

I purchased a HP Photosmart Printer C310 and hooked it up to a USB, not wireless. The apps on the printer will not work, says it has to be on wireless for those features to work. When I purchased it the guy said I could use those apps even if it was on a USB hook up? Any ideas of how to get the apps to work without the wireless?

Make sure you have done this to reset the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
and that you have restarted your computer since this problem occurred. You should also try disconnecting all USB devices from your computer including hubs (except standard keyboard and mouse if normally used), and connecting the iPod by itself to a direct USB port.
There are no iPod viruses. But data corruption on the iPod's storage is possible.
If doing the above does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the iPod, from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If data corruption or a software glitch is causing the problem, a Restore should fix it.

Need to get the overtime hours worked for Report

Dear Experts,
We have configured Overtime for client and it is working fine.
But for custom report development we need to get the overtime hours worked.
We have searched in B2 cluster and not able to identify exact overtime table.
Request your suggestionsu2026u2026..

Hi,
after time elavualtion use t code PT66, in this t.code double click on the each month(period) then you can get the internal table like ZES, SALDO, ZKO. again double click on the each internal table, you can get the information through the time types. Like , now you want the overtime hours, 0903, 0904 with this time types you can get the each employee no. of. overtime hours.
ZL, ZES, SALDO, TIP entries are internal table , you could not get any results from this table with using se11, se16.
With PT_BAL00 with this report also we can get the overtime hours with the help of time events.
Good luck
Devi

I installed iWork11 but the '09 versions of the software are still running--and the default. What do I need to do to get the '11 versions working?

I installed iWork11 but the '09 versions of the software are still running--and the default. What do I need to do to get the '11 versions working?

It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
If space is an issue... use an external disk.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
