Epson Perfection V30 scanner

I know this scanner is Linux compatible and overall the series has been for awhile. Garet did a blog on Arch setup but my scanner is still not quite working yet. I'm fairly certain I extracted the firmware properly, but there is some doubt there.
lsusb shows the code fine
its hooked up properly... wire wise
dmesg acknowledges ehci being energized
the only "error" i can find is in /var/logs/message.log
Apr 14 20:33:56 rebecca kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 31
Apr 14 20:33:56 rebecca load-modules.sh: 'usb:v04B8p0131d0100dcFFdscFFdpFFicFFiscFFipFF' is not a valid module or alias name
aur/iscan is installed, as is gtk2 and x/sane
If anyone has some ideas that would be great.

I know EXACTLY what you mean, by the tilted scan. I had the same problem with my Epson 1260 scanner. The new driver for the scanner does not work; it produces the tilted scan, as you have found out. The old TWAIN driver is no longer supported by Image Capture or any of the apps that run its engine (i.e. Preview).
Fortunately, after several days of trying to fix it, I found a solution. Use the old TWAIN 5.75A driver that you had used with your previous Mac. It will be in the folder /Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources. Copy that folder and its enclosed file "EPSON TWAIN 5.ds" to /Library/Image Capture on your new Mac. You can also download the old 5.75a driver here.
Then download Graphic Converter and install it. After it is installed, right-click its icon, select Get Info, and set it to open using Rosetta Mode.
Then open Graphic Converter. Under the File menu, select Acquire -> TWAIN Acquire. You should then be able to scan using the old TWAIN driver you are used to.
It works for me anyway - perfect scans every time, with no horizontal hold problem!

  • Opinions about the Epson Perfection V30 scanner

    I would buy this scanner (Epson Perfection V30). I know it works with proprietary drivers and for me it's ok if they work good.
    I'd like to know if you recommend it as my new scanner.
    Does The Image Scan application have all the XSane features?
    Did you encounter any annoying issues?

    Hope indeed that Epson will find a solution very soon - thanks for informing me. In the meanwhile I discovered that when turning the scanner on, and going to system preferences, I can add the scanner to 'printers and scanners' and make one scan.
    After that the scanner disappears again from the list. It seems indeed that a driver is missing now.

    I am running Windows 7 with Acrobat Pro 10.0.0

    We have 8 machines with Acrobat and this Printer, and I am able to repeat this with each system.
    Does anybody have any ideas? Is anybody using the Epson Perfection v30 scanner?

    Any ideas?   there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13.   Perhaps if I uninstall it?   I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall?  I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

  • Epson scan Epson Perfection V30

    After installing Maverick, my version of the Epson Scan programm voor Epson Perfection V30 doesn't work any more. Epson Main Support screen only tells me to go to the Apple software page to install an upgrade, but there is no such upgrade available.
    Is there a solution?  My iMac only says that the version is not compatible with OS X 10.9

    Hope indeed that Epson will find a solution very soon - thanks for informing me. In the meanwhile I discovered that when turning the scanner on, and going to system preferences, I can add the scanner to 'printers and scanners' and make one scan.

  • HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in  Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan  & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

    Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in  Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan  & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
    I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
    Do I have to buy a new scanner?  It seems so close to working correctly. 
    I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
    Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
    Thanks

    Hi...
    Epson is vorking on updating drivers and utilities for this scanner.
    From the epson site :
    "Description:
    An OS X 10.9 compatible Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility for this model is not yet available but is coming soon. Please check back for availability."
    So, until then you can only use the basic scanning provided by Image Capture.
    Alternatively take a look on vuescan.
    Regards

  • Scan a positive transparency with an Epson Perfection 1200 scanner?

    I cannot get Image Capture to scan a positive transparency.  The overview scan keeps cancelling.
    I'm using an Epson Perfection 1200 scanner.   It works in the flatbed mode, e.g. scanning a photo.
    What can I do to scan a transparency?

  • Can Epson Perfection 2580 scanner be used w/OS 10.8.2?

    I used my Epson Perfection 2580 Scanner with my old Mac, which was an eMac. I've recently upgraded to an iMac running OS 10.8.2.
    The Software Update function downloaded a driver update for the scanner, but when I click on the Scanner icon in Applications, it tells me that this OS no longer supports PowerPC applications.
    Online forums talk about using Rosetta, but Rosetta isn't supported by Mac's new OS, etc., etc.
    Bottom line: Does this mean I am unable to use this scanner with my new iMac? Does this mean I must march out and buy a new scanner?

    Hi diamondhill,
    Did you ever get a driver for your Epson Perfection 2580 Scanner. I've just updated to OS 10.8.4 and can't find a driver for it.
    Deeply frustrated here.

  • How to add Epson Perfection V500 scanner to Photoshop CC import device list

    How do I add an Epson Perfection V500 scanner to the "File-Import" list in Photoshop CC (64-bit)? I am using Windows 8.1 (64-bit).
    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

    Vuescan has a 32/64 bit Twain driver and support for Photoshop CC. It supports 2500 scanners and the only one I know that supports 64 bit twain and it supports the Epson V500.
    It is a paid solution,but you can try it out and see if you like it.
    You can test drive it here www.hamrick.com
    The problem with any Twain software is that it puts a hold on Photoshop until the scan is done.
    Perhaps the best way is to let the Epson software scan and save to tiff while you are working.

  • 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.

  • Using PSE13 with Epson Perfection V600 Scanner

    I own an Epson Perfection V600 scanner and have always preferred the TWAIN driver (see TWAIN not installed | Photoshop Elements 9 and later) over WIA. Since installing PSE13 64 Bit I no longer have Adobe's TWAIN driver.
    I recommend using Epson's latest scan utility (last update 7/29/13), running it independently of PSE13, and importing into PSE13 later. The quality is much better than WIA.

    Seems the problem was a conflict with another program I have. The Epson software installed after I resolved the problem. I do wish the Epson support people knew more about their software since they were no help at all.

  • Epson Perfection 1650 Scanner won't work with 10.7.5, help?

    I am trying to use my EPSON PERFECTION 1650 scanner with my MacBook Pro, software version 10.7.5.  The old driver does not work with Lion.  I ran software update, with the scanner connected, and it did not come up with any new Epson software to install.  Can anyone help me locate this driver?  When I googled Epson driver for this operating system, it says I have to run software update on the Apple and it will automatically come up.  But I have had no luck.  Someone help please?  Thanks, Chris

    Hi,
    As listed on Epson's site the drivers are available via Apple Software Update.
    Ensure the scanner is powered on and directly connected to your Mac, then try following the steps below:
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14551&BV_UseBVCooki e=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=OSF_M_X7
    Now try opening the Image Capture application within the Applications folder and check if your scanner appears.
    If the scanner cannot be located yet try restarting your Ma and check for any difference.
    If the same still persists try resetting the printing system, then try adding the scanner again as listed on Epson's site.
    You may reset the printing system as following:

    Finally, if you still having issue getting the drivers from ASU try installing the package below and try scanning from Image Capture again:
