Epson Scan with Workforce 610 with OS 10.6.5

Using OS 10.6.4, I used Epson Scan on a workforce 610 (wireless), with no difficulty. Since upgrading to OS 10.6.5 , the printer is working fine (wireless) as a printer but when I try to start "Epson Scan" I get an error message" Epson Scan cannot be started". I have tried to download the latest driver but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this difficulty and have you a solution? I have contacted Epson but have not yet received a reply.

Presuming that the same version of Epson Scan works across Epson products, version 3.7.3 works fine on my Artisan 810. What version are you trying to run?

What happened when you tried? Epson drivers seem to install better if the "uninstall" option is run first, then the "install" option. You might try that.

I can´t install Epson Scan with OSX 10.9

I've recently upgraded to Mavericks and the scanner of my multifunction Epson XP-205 stopped working. It worked as a printer though.
When reinstalling a message of finder appears, saying that it is impossible to use "EPSON Scan 3.7.9f0" with this version of OS X.
A message in the installing window also says "failiure when changing definitions of EPSON Scan.
Nevertheless, the technical specifications for my multifunctions says it works with any version of OSX 10.5 or further.
Is there any help on that matter?

Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder instead.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

How can I print from Firefox using my Epson Workforce 610 printer?

I call technical support at Epson regarding my Workforce 610 printer because I'd tried to print out an e-mail using my Mozilla FireFox web browser. During the conversation with Epson technical support I learned that my printer does in fact work and wasn't have any connection issues that prevented me from printing. I tried to print 4 times 2 times out of notepad and then Word, then I tried to print my e-mail 2 times using the Mozilla FireFox web browser and neither time was I able to print using Mozilla FireFox's web browser. The technical support rep then suggested I speak to technical support for Mozilla FireFox because she thought there might be a connectivity issue between Mozilla FireFox's web browser and my Epson printer that keeps it from print documents from the web browser.

In Firefox -
File > Print or {Ctrl + P} = is that Epson printer selected in the Printer - Name dialog?

Epson Stylus CX6600 scanner problem with 10.6

I've read various posts about scanner functions not working after upgrading to 10.6.x. I too have this problem now with my Epson Stylus CX6600. This machine has been a real workhorse for me for 6 years and up until this week it has been trouble-free. It prints absolutely fine as usual but the new OS can't 'find' its scan function.
So far I've :
1 Deleted the driver and reinstalled via Software Update
2 System Prefs : Printer/Fax : when I select 'Scan' the queue window opens and reads "No Scanner Selected"
3 Image Capture : "No Scanner or camera selected"
4 Preview : "Epson Stylus CX6600 was disconnected"
No matter what I try my iMac will not recognise the fact that I have a scan option.
I know others have had this problem in the past but the posts remain "unanswered". My assumption is they either fixed it or gave up.
If anyone has the answer, I'd be most appreciative to hear it!
TIA

PS : Our MacBook is connected to an Epson Stylus SX215 multifunction - print & scan working perfectly fine on that.

(1) Happily, you can get the 4.1.0 file from the 10.5.8 Combo Update. (I don't know which of the previous updates introduced it — to save time, I looked only in this combo update, the last for Leopard.) Download the standalone installer from the Apple site.
(2) You must also have a file called "EPSON Stylus CX6600.ds", which belongs in "/Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources/". If it's not there, you can get it from Epson:
(a) Download the file for the CX6600 identified as "TWAIN Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v2.77A", with the filename "epson11802.dmg". It's described at the model's downloads page, and the direct link is "ftp://ftp.epson.com/drivers/epson11802.dmg".
(b) Epson seems to have messed up the content type of the file, or made some other error, because Safari at first tries to open it in the browser as though it's a movie. Give it a minute or two to sort itself out. If it never starts downloading, use an FTP program to get the file.
(c) Once you have it, mount it and run Epson Scan Installer.
(3) Next, go into "/Library/Image Capture/Devices/" and trash the file "Epson Scanner". (Well, you might want to just stash it somewhere else, in case you ever need to use an up-to-date Epson scanner.)
(4) Download a program called Pacifist, if you don't already have it. You will use it to extract from the 10.5.8 Combo Updater only the file that you need.
(5) Open the combo updater in Pacifist, and look for a file called "EPSON Scanner.app". Its location in the combo updater package is "/Library/Image Capture/Devices". Select this file and click the "Install" button in the toolbar.
(6) "EPSON Scanner.app" should now be in your Devices folder. Double-click on it to launch it. (It runs in the background, so you won't see an icon in the dock, but you .)
(7) At this point, you should be able to power up and connect your CX6600, launch Image Capture, and scan as usual. (The EPSON Scan application, which will have been installed in your Applications folder during step 2, if it was not already there, should also function.)

Epson scan quits during scan

Epson Scan does a preview but quits soon after scan starts.

Good Afternoon bebobed,
If you are unable to scan with the Epson Scan software that came with your printer, try connecting your printer with a USB cable and using the Image Capture program that is built into OS X.
Mac Basics: Using a scanner - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4505
This article discusses scanning via the Image Capture application (located in the Applications folder).
Simplified scan mode
In the "simplified" scanner interface, follow these steps:
Place the item(s) you would like to scan on the scanner bed.
Open Image Capture by clicking Launchpad in the Dock and typing Image Capture in the search field.
OS X Mountain Lion: By default, Image Capture will scan to the system's default page size such as "US Letter", and scan the whole page. Click for other options such as "Detect Enclosing Box" or "Detect Separate Items".
Choose where to save the scanned images from the "Scan To:" pop-up menu:
A folder of your choosing. A number of folders are already pre-configured or choose "Other…" to select the folder you want.
Click "Scan" to scan.
Note: The scanned items will become JPEG images incrementally named: scan1.jpeg, scan2.jpeg, and so forth.
Have a great day!

Any hope soon of Mavericks/Epson scanning problems being resolved?

Folks, is there any hope soon of the Mavericks/ Epson scanning issues being resolved with a software fix, or should I try to switch back to Snow Leopard? The Image Capture App doesn't appear to see the scanner so no help there. Grateful for thoughts.

Try resetting the printing system. It can also affect the scanner.

I have a HP workforce 610 and cannot scan. I just spoke with HP and they told me it is a software problem with my MAC for image capture. Anyone else having difficulty?

If Image Capture doesn't work you could try the paid for app VueScan ( www.hamrick.com ). You can try it for free in demo mode to see if it works before purchase.

I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan

Hi Everybody,
I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac. Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan. I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple. I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan. How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

Have you checked the Epson web site for an updated driver?
Try using Applications/Image Capture.
Another application is VueScan.

I'm using Image Capture over one year, between my Epson XP-800 and iMac, sometimes very fast and quiet often very, very slow. I've tried to use Epson Scan 3.7.9fO but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x Why, please..

I'm using Image Capture over one year now, using wireless between my iMac and Epson XP-800 and sometimes very fast scans and quiet often very, very slow scans. I have tried to use Epson Scan Software 3.7.9f0 but not compatible with OS X 10.9.5x. There is very little other wireless traffic and I have a fast broadband connection. Thanks

Mike,
Thanks, but, I don't want more software as I have used both Epson and Image Capture. Is there not a solution with existing Epson and Image Capture..?

Epson Scan with Mavericks

I recently installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro, but lost ability to use the Epson Scan application, any ideas when this will be available?

Same problem with my Epson Perfection 4990Photo. Contact Epson did not help. Before re-install of the Epson software, removal „Epson Scan” from the library of the MAC was not enough. Somewhere there are still hidden old and new drivers that work against each other. I have now with Finder, all sought with the name Epson and removed from the HD where the OS is on. Then I downloaded the latest software from Epson. It can not be opened because it comes from "an unknown supplier". It can still be forced open by using "finder" to go and "ctrl" key button. Then click on the file and "open" in the new window. Now one can just install and fortunately everything works back to your liking.

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

Microsoft office 2008 and later work fine on Lion. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application. PPC apps are no longer supported and Lion does not include Rosetta, which was required to run them on OS X. I imagine the Epson / Canon software you are trying to use is the same. Check with them to see if updates are available.

Epson 1640xl does't work with image capture.

I have an epson 1640XL scanner. I know the epson scan utiliy doesn't work with Snow Leopard. I have been instructed to use Image Capture.
I see the scanner on the left, and when it "overview" scan's the image the scanner makes noise but doesn't produce anything on the screen.
Any thoughts on how to get it working?
seth

I had all the problems stated above, while trying to scan with Image Capture. I got nothing but the "the scan operation is cancelled", after multiple tries. I called Epson. They said there was no driver that would work with OS X 10.8.4 for this scanner, and suggested that I call Apple. Apple said there was nothing they could do, and that I should call Epson. I followed the advise someone gave above, and downloaded EPSON Scan 3.8.0. The Epson software didn't work. It didn't seem to be able to pick up the 1640 XL. But, suddenly, I could preview with Image Capture. It was progress, but wouldn't work past the Overview step. The Scan button was "greyed out", not allowing me to proceed. I then tried importing through Photoshop. It works! Go to File/Import/Images from Device and you will get beautiful scans. Good luck, everyone.

Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?

Will an epson photo 2400 scanner work with OSX 10.7?
If so where do I get the drivers/software to run it?
I have used it with aquire, but only in flat bed scanning.
I am not able to use the film/slide mode anymore because the software that came with it is for 32 bit macine code.
Any ideas?

I realize this isn't a direct answer to your question, but I have an Epson Perfection 1670 flatbed scanner. I plugged it into a USB port after installing Lion, and it works fine with both the Image Capture and Preview applications. ("FIne", for me - I don't have a need for slide/transparancy scanning. Image Capture recognizes the scanner can do it, giving two modes for transparancy scanning, but in a quick and dirty test a minute ago it didn't seem to work. Since I don't need the capability, I'm not going to struggle with it to see what I've done wrong.)
Good luck
