Epson RX530 scanner not detected

I have just connected a Epson stylus RX530 to a airport time capsule, the printer compatability listing states that scan and print should work, S/W updates all up to date. When the RX530 is connected via USB to the mac both print and scan works, when connected to the timecapsule only the print function works. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong. Only the print function will work if you have your Epson device connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule......unless......something has changed in the last few days and Epson is now providing full feature drivers to allow the scan functionality.
To date, to our knowlege, no printer manufacturer has provided full feature drivers to Apple for their devices when used at the USB port of the AirPorts or Time Capsule. You might want to check with Epson support for clarification to see if they plan to provide full featured drivers for USB network use.
Chances are, the info you have is talking about functionality when connected directly to the USB port of a computer, not a network hookup via USB.

scanner not detected in photoshop

I just posted a question dealing with PS CS not seeing the scanner. Here's what I posted:
Unable to see scanner using PhotoShop CS for Import
Nov 30, 2013 10:36 PMTags (edit): #mac_os_10.6.8 # #scanner_problem #drivers?
Epson Perfection 48970 Scanner worked perfectly with iMac using MAC OS 10.6.8 and Photoshop CS. But that iMac was traded in for a new iMac, and now using MAC OS 10.8.5. PS CS is now inoperative for the upgraded operating system. Now working with Macbook Pro, MAC OS 10.6.8, and scanner works perfectly with the laptop, but NOT with Photoshop CS. The Epson doesn't show in the import mode, but the HP Officejet Pro 8500 does, which is a poor scanner at best. I have looked for the answer to this problem, but unable to solve the problem. I don't want to buy an upgrade version of Photoshop CS; I just want to covert some 35mm slides to paper photos, etc.

Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some scanning issues.

Scanner not detected in PSE 12 organizer

I used PSE11 before and i use a scanner (canon 4200F) to import some old pictures and other documents. Now i have installed PSE12, but i was surprised that my scanner is not detected, so i cannot import anymore with my scanner. How can i fix this problem?

Microsoft Office does not support import by scanner or TWAIN devices
Wow, that really surprised me when you said that, because it always used to. So I had a look at my Word 2010 (where I have the free 'Classic Menu' add-in installed). Under Classic Menu it is still there under Menus> Insert> Illustrations> From Scanner or Camera. But nowhere could I see it under the standard Word Menu's or Ribbon bar.
It is still in there though. I found it in the ribbon customization options choosing commands from 'All Tabs'. Accessible then from Menus> Toolbars> Insert> From Scanner or Camera. Phew!!!
Anyway, glad to hear XNView worked for you, but still surprised that PSE12 doesn't see the scanner as either WIA or TWAIN (as you said you had followed the linked instructions in 99jon reply #1). I can only assume that Adobe changed the way they identify scanners for v12.
Cheers,
Neale

Epson 4490 scanner not found by Acrobat X in Lion 10.7.4

1. Uninstalled Epson software with software in "epson12887" uninstaller (from Epson).
2. After connecting scanner, ran Apple Software Update and added the Epson Printer Software Update 2.11 from Apple.
3. Epson 4490 Scanner is visible in System Preferences > Print & Scan window.
4. Apple's Image Capture sees the Epson 4490 scanner, and Image Capture works with the scanner.
5. Adobe Photoshop CS6 sees the scanner after adding Adobe's TWAIN plug-in, and Photoshop works with the scanner.
In Acrobat, go to:
FIle > Create > PDF from Scanner
Scanner > Please select a device
The Epson scanner isn't listed.

I found the answer, thanks to this link:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1054100
The solution is to go to Epson's site, and download the software that's specific to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for my scanner. In my case, I installed both the ICA driver and the EpsonScan software specific for OS X 10.6 for the Epson Perfection 4490 Photo scanner.
Unfortunately, Epson's Lion page:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supportLion.jsp
points you to Apple's Software Update page for Epson drivers for Lion. While this is generally good advice (these were needed and appropriate for Image Capture and Photoshop CS6), the older 10.6 drivers and software from Epson are also required for Adobe Acrobat Pro X to "find" the scanner.

Epson WP4525 scanner not working anymore with Mavericks

After updating to Mavericks the scanning option for my Epson WP-4525 has disappeared. looks like a driver issue ?
Anyone had similar issue ? Epson does not offer Mavericks update for the drivers ... at least not yet.
Got a solution or alternate scanning method ? (not with a flash drive thank you !)

Delete the old scanner driver, if it's still in your mac, and then try using Image Capture (it's in Applications).

Epson 3490 scanner-not compatible

After returning the HP 4850 scanner and getting my money back, I bought an Epson 3490 because it looked like at least a few people were getting the Epson scanners to work. I didn't. After uninstalling, reinstalling on my own, I called Epson and did the same things under their instruction. This scanner still doesn't work with the 10.4.2 operating system and my eMac. Epson says it's the operating system, possibly files that are being duplicated instead of written over during the installation process. I have searched high and low for leftover HP files and can't find any. Apple wants to charge me significant money to talk to their technicians and I can't afford to pay them to work on their own software. As of now, I'm going to return the Epson and make do with my digital camera. I also was not able to install the 10.4.3 upgrade! This is turning into one sour apple for me.

William Fritz1,
Did you check for an uninstall option on the HP software? You may have to reinstall it to fully delete it. Uninstallers aren't common on Macs, where users are used to just dragging unwanted programs to the Trash, but HP (along with Adobe and Symantec) are known to spew files all over the place, including places where they're not really supposed to be putting files. Did the HP software installer ask you to enter an admin password when you installed it? That's a tell-tale clue that the installer is messing with the System directories.
Also: after installing software that requires an admin password, HP, Adobe, or Quark programs in particular, you really must run Disk Utility/ Repair Permissions afterwards. Some installers don't just put their files all over the place but change the permissions of system level directories and files, which can cause any amount of grief until the permissions are repaired.
Given the problems you're having, after running Repair Permissions I'd also boot from the OS X Install disc and open Disk Utility from the Installer menu to run Repair Disk as well (see Using Disk Utility and fsck).
That permissions issue may be why you couldn't install the 10.4.3 update or the Epson scanner software. What erros did you get trying to install the 10.4.3 update? Did you try the 10.4.3 update via the incremental or Delta updater via Software Update, or by downloading and running the full 10.4.3 Combo Update from the Downloads link at the top of the Discussions pages? The full Combo update is more robust and reliable.

Scanner not detected - Canon Imageclass MF8350 Cdn

Hi,
Can anyone help me? I have Snow Leopard Mac OS 10.6.8, and I am trying to install my multifunction Canon printer. It detects and prints fine, but it won't detect my scanner or fax. I have no hard line for the fax - I use CableVision's wireless router for phone and internet. Is there a way for me to use either function (scanner or fax) with my Mac?
I have an older Canon stand-alone scanner, Canoscan N1240U, and it won't detect that either...
Thanks.

Thanks. This is what the CableVision guy said to me when I asked about connecting to the modem. I was trying to connect wirelessly to the modem; I can't do that, according to him. I still need a RJ11 phone line, with the analog to digital converter to connect to the modem. Only then can I use the fax.
That is correct. The fax is designed for analog connections so there would be need to be a physical connection from the RJ11 connector on the fax to the public phone network or to the A/D converter to use your digital line.
I have "Bluetooth DUN" as my current default fax machine. How do I use it? Can it be used instead of the fax part of the Canon, and then I could probably scan a PDF into my MAC and let Bluetooth DUN fax it out?
The Bluetooth DUN (short for dial up networking) is a way in which you can use your mobile phone to send faxes from your Mac. Not really ideal if you want to send faxes often.
With your setup a better option would be to use a Fax service provider. You basically email the documents you need to be faxed to the Fax company along with the destination fax numbers.

Plustek OpticSlim 2600 scanner not detected by scanimage

Was anyone able to make this scanner work?
I have installed sane-gt68xx-backend (which technically doesn't say it supports the 2600 model - only 2400) and I get the following output from sane-find scanner:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x07b3, product=0x0467, chip=GT-6816?) at libusb:006:002
Then, however, when I run scanimage -L there are no devices detected (tried both as user and as root).
If any one of you managed to make this thing running in Arch, then please, share your expertise. :-)

I ran into something like this getting my neighbor's scanner working on his Linux box. But that was a couple of years ago... and my memory sucks... so don't rely on any of the following...
Since the sane-gt68xx-backend package hasn't been updated since 2007, his scanner also wouldn't work right away.
In my case I had to use the Vendor-ID and Product-ID to get the real manufacturer and model of the scanner. Even though the scanner had it's own name/model, I found out the "guts" of the scanner was actually made by Plustek (I think). But that's not the problem in your case.
But... I did need to add the Vendor ID (yours is 0x07b3) and Product ID (yours is 0x0467) to one of the Sane configuration files (was it /etc/sand.d/gt68xx.conf ???).
Then, one of the logs (syslog???) started complaining about not being able to find the scanner firmware. This is where it got fun
In an attempt to refresh my very poor memory, I just tried the following steps using your scanner info...
I went to http://plustek.com/ and downloaded the Windows device driver for the Plustek OpticSlim 2600, and then unzipped it in an empty "junk" directory.
Then I installed the "unshield" package on my Arch Linux box. Next, I used unshield's "-d" parameters and "x" command to extract all the files inside the data1.cab file to another empty directory. I think you'll find scanner's firmware file at /DRV_71QU/cis3R5B1.fw in that directory you extracted the files to.
In my case I then had to copy that firmware file to the /usr/share/sane/gt68xx directory.
Then the scanner actually worked rather well.
Good luck!

Mac os canon scanner not detected in Acrobat

MACBOOK PRO retina mid 2014 running OS10.10.2 Yosemite
ACROBAT Xi PRO
CANON MG5200 printer/scanner
When I connected the Canon printer scanner to my new macbook pro Acrobat does not show the printer scanner in the import from scanner menu option.
I had this problem previously with Acrobat's really irritating messing around with scanners but cannot remember how I solved it.
Does anybody have some sensible advice please?
PS ADOBE, why on earth don't you sort this out, your users have FREQUENT need for quick and easy scanning.

Hey Paul,
Firstly, I would recommend you to please check for Acrobat updates to run the latest patch i.e. 11.0.10
An out-of-date version of scanner might result in scanning issues. So, please reinstall the latest scanner driver for your particular scanner model from the manufacturer's website and then try again.
If it still does not work, then please try logging in to new administrator account, open Acrobat and check.
For instructions, refer: Install or run Adobe applications in new user account | Mac OS X
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Anubha

Epson USB Scanner not working properly after 10.44 update

After 10.44 update, my Epson 3490 USB Photo scanner has stopped working properly. Is this just another one of those update issues that seem to be reported at the moment. Will someone at Aplle actually fix thisat some point?

I can't open Epson Scan - it appears in the dock and info bar for about 2 seconds, then quits. I can sometimes open SmartPanel by pushing the scan button on the unit, but then it says "Please install the supported TWAIN driver." Most of the time it appears in the dock and info ba) but doesn't open the window itself. Epson couldn't fix it. It works on a PC, so they said it's a Mac problem.

HP Officejet Wireless 4500 g510 n-z Scanner not detected

Hi! My husband and I purchased a new computer about a year ago and ever since then our HP officejet wireless printer, fax, scanner has not been fully functional. I have it attached to the CPU through USB. I have gone through all the driver downloads and software multiple times to no avail. My computer still doesn't recognize the scanner. I even downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it recognizes my product, it then tells me that "The full software solution for your product is not installed on this computer." Then I attempt to install the software and it says "download failed." Arghhhhh! What do I need to do to have a fully functional 3-in-1 printer on my computer. The product worked just fine on our previous computer but now I can't figure it out! Please help! Much gratitude!!!! Sarah

Welcome to the HP Forums Sarah, aka , I saw your post about the installation issues you have had with your Officejet 4500 Wireless on your Windows 8.1 system, and I would like to help! I am going to start my suggestions with performing a more "in depth" uninstall to clear out all of the printer files, restart the PC, and try downloading and installing again. Please respond back to me with the outcome! Go to the tiles screen, (start up screen)Start typing %temp%, open the folder starting with 7z, (Example: 7zS2356) Util, ccc, Uninstall_L3.When the uninstall has completed restart the computer.Delete all files you can from the temp folder. (Go to the start up screen, (tiles menu) type %temp%. Delete everything listed.)Now download and run the Full Feature Software installation from here: HP Officejet Full Feature Software and DriverTry printing and scanning. Good luck I hope this helps!Thank me for this reply by clicking the thumbs up icon below!

TS3147 installed Canon MF4570dw multifunction printer, it prints and copies but scanner not detected. How do you install scanning function?

Downloaded drivers installed MF4500w series. But software and OS does not setect scan function

First of all you need to set the MF scan components online. Press the Scan button and then select Remote.
Then on the Mac, open the MF Toolbox software, which will have been installed when you downloaded and installed the ScanGear v1.51 software, and select one of the buttons like Save. From the next window that appears, change the Original Placement menu to ADF or Platen - depending on where you have loaded the paper - and then press the Scan button. This action should scan the document to your Mac.

Epson perfection scanner

i had problems a few months ago with my epson perfection scanner not being recognized by my computer. the green 'on' light would be half illuminated when the usb cable was plugged into the computer. this occurred after stupidly moving a bunch of files around and then forgetting how to restore their original placement. i moved files because i was unable to change the name of my home folder -- as this computer is a hand-me-down -- and did not want to have to look at the name of the home folder any longer for personal reasons. silly, but true.
i did manage to get the computer and scanner to communicate once again, but the connection has since disappeared. i downloaded a demo of vuescan which initiated the connection and then was able to open up the epson scan program after that. i am trying to understand just how drivers work and how these two pieces of equipment communicate so that i can do my own troubleshooting. the epson troubleshooting guide is useless -- after ruling out that the printer isn't plugged into an outlet or into the computer, it has absolutely no suggestions for troubleshooting. no software advice at all. i'm going to continue playing with this problem, but if anyone can explain to me how drivers work and how the computer and the scanner communicate, it might help me out. it might also help a lot of other people out, as i see from the discussion boards, this sort hardware communication problem comes up a lot in various manifestations.
thanks.

Those are good suggestions, but unfortunately, in my case, the latest driver and a re-install of the software did nothing to help. The only thing that got things partially working was downloading the demo of vuescan, which I am hesitant to purchase as the demo seems a bit buggy -- but then again, this may be something to do with my computer and not the program. I'm not sure. I wonder what it is about the vuescan program that immediately recognizes the scanner when all other applications, including image capture, fail?
