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 It worked straight away, although I'm anticipating a few problems as this is so out of date.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

Epson scanner driver download compatible to OS Tiger

I own a Power Mac G4 and an Epson Expression 1640XL scanner.
I recently upgraded the OS to Tiger and realized afterward that Epson website doesn't offer a download of a driver that is compatible to Tiger. It supports up to OS 10.3.
Does anybody have any suggestion as to what I should do next in order to make the scanner compatible to Tiger?
FYI, I called Epson support but the recorded voice warned me that there will be a charge of a little over $9.00 to speak to a tech support so I decided to go this route.

Kappy,
Thanks for a prompt response.
So I suppose it is safe to download TWAIN Driver and Epson Scan Utility v2.64A from their site even though it mentions that it is for OS X (v10.2.x - 10.3.x) and nothing above it.
Let me try that and I'll get back to you.
Thanks again!

I need to redownload an Epson Scanner driver

I have an Epson 1240U Photo scanner that was working awesome. That is until I updated the software from the app store. After doing that I lost my scanner in the printers and scanners preferences.
I am wanting to redownload the software, but Apple tells me that I have downloaded it already. Is there any way I can redownload this file and reinstall it? Or else roll back the driver to the previous version?

The latest update may not support the Epson 1240U Photo Scanner software but there is an alternative.
You can use the pre installed Image Capture app (in your Applications folder) for scanning > Mac Basics: Using a scanner

Epson Scanner Driver

First- I apologize if this is in the wrong place.
Second- I have also been trying to contact Epson about this, but they are being completely unresponsive.
I have recently upgraded to Leopard and, hence, my Epson Perfection 1250 driver is not compatible. I went to Epson's website and downloaded the Twain Driver and Epson Scan Utility v2.77A.
The problem is when I run the installer for the driver, it hangs up with "48 Items Remaining" and, after thinking for a bit, comes up as Not Responding.
I have tried a reboot, cold boot, even detached the computer from power, in order to give the driver a clean environment to install, but nothing seems to work. It still continues to hang.
Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, how did you go about resolving it?
Thank you in advance for any help!
Jeff

Is SRM 6.0 (SRM 2007) released for non-ramp up customers?

Hi Guys,
Anyone knows if SRM 6.0 is now available on the market for non-ramp up customers? If not any ideas when it will be ready?
Thanks

Hi,
In adition to this dates, here is the official letter :
"PUBLIC Information about SRM 6.0
This note is intended to help the SAP field answer customer inquiries concerning the delayed shipment of SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) release 6.0.
Reasons for the delay
SAP SRM 6.0 is a big step forward for SRM: SRM 6.0 is the first SAP software to rely on the new user interface technology WebDynpro and the Web Application Server, rather than the previous ITS. It is also based on the completely new business rule framework (BRF) to define approval workflows. These changes are intended to improve usability and simplify workflow administration / customization, leading to better acceptance and lower TCO for our customers. However, the move to these new technologies is also a complex change and as a result, the product has experienced delays.
With our most recent development milestone - service pack 2 in mid-July 2007 - we have made lots of progress towards completion; however, we estimated that the product was still not yet ready for Ramp-Up. As a result, we decided to release the product only in beta shipment and to a very limited set of customers (14 in total) who are being closely monitored by our development organization. Seven of these customers are actually planning to go live on the current beta shipment.
Based on the progress made so far with Service Pack 2, we feel that we should be able to start the official Ramp-Up process on December 10th, 2007 - the target ship date for Service Pack 03. By that time, we should already have 3+ live customers, so new customers starting their projects will benefit from the experiences acquired from previous implementations.
Time plan and Recommendations
1. Ideally, we recommend that new and upgrade SRM customers wait for the start of Ramp-Up for SRM 6.0 SP03 (Dec 10th, 2007) rather than starting a project with the previous release SRM 5.0. SRM 6.0 offers many benefits compared to SRM 5.0 and should be easier to use + maintain. An Online scoping questionnaire will be available from mid October in the SAP Service Marketplace as usual.
2. The number of Beta shipment customers is strictly limited and therefore we do not intend to ship Service Pack 2 to any additional customers besides the 14 customers currently in Beta.
3. Implementation partners can request a demo license of the current support package 2 in the partner portal. They can set up their sandbox systems and familiarize with the new technology upfront before they enter into customer projects from Dec. 10.
Should you have any further questions please contact your local SAP account executive
Kind regards,
Yann

If you are trying to install the updated Epson scanner driver when you get this message, it will be due to the installer not being digitally signed - which is odd if it is an updated driver. To get past this block, which is a function of Gatekeeper, hold down the Control button and click the installer. A pop-up window will appear. Select Open from the menu. You will now get the option to install the driver software.

HT4628 My Epson Artisan 725 prints just fine but, when I tried to scan it seems not to be connected. I downloaded the scanner driver but I don't see it. And I can't find where to verify settings.

I'm having trouble scanning with my Epson all in one. I downloaded the scanner driver and tried a couple of things through epson support. I can't seem to find the driver on my Mac anywhere. I tried to download it again but still can't locate it. My printer is an Epson Artisan 725. The driver for the printer looks to be a 720.

I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

Epson Perfection 2400 Scanner issue with Epson Print Driver 2.4.1 Update

After the Epson Print Driver 2.4.1 update, my scanner quit working with Image
Capture, which hangs during the overview scan. The scanner makes a pass over
the document, but Image Capture just sits for a while saying "Overview Scan..."
and then fails with a generic error message.
I tried the suggestion in [11993273|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11993273&#11993273 ], but that did not work for me.
Any other ideas?

Thank's for the suggestion, but no help.
It is not straight-forward to uninstall the driver because Apple installer
does not offer an uninstall option. I resorted to
sudo find /Library -iname "epson" -print -exec mv {} ~/Desktop/epson \;
in the terminal. Reboot. Ran EPSONPrinterDrivers.pkg. Ran Disk Utility's
Repair Permissions. Reboot. Added scanner back in the System Preferences.
Opened Image Capture, the overview scan started and a few minutes later
*Scanner reported and error*
An error occured during scanning.

Cannot install scanner driver for Epson 1650 Perfection

This isn't making sense to me. I was running Snow Leopard on another drive and was using my Epson Perfection 1650 scanner just fine. I bought a 2TB drive and installed Snow Leopard and am booting from that now and my scanner isn't recognized. If I try to open the Epson Scan utility, it just quits before it fully opens. I downloaded the scanner driver from Epson's website again and when I try to install it, the installer quits before it is fully open.
I did a Repair Permissions but that didn't help.
I tried manually copying the Epson Scanner Module folder from my Library on the other drive to the Library on this new drive and that didn't help.
I found a webpage on Apple's site listing scanners that are compatible with Snow Leopard and mine is listed. It claims most drivers are installed with the system. If so, how come my scanner isn't working now? But it did work in Snow Leopard on my other drive. I can boot from the other drive and use the scanner now, but I want to be able to use it from this drive.

I have been able to use OmniPage X in Snow Leopard with only one problem. I think it is because I did not try to instal it. It came across with my auto transfer from earlier software/hard drives. It reads documents but does not scan because I haven't transferred over my old twain files. I understand that the OmniPage twain file may not work in Snow Leopard but there is a freeware twain driver which I haven't tried.
So if you are having problems installing OmniPage on your Intel Mac, try copying over the app, (OS9 style) from an older Mac which has an old OSX system on which OmniPage X successfully installed.
I use VueScan to scan pages from my scanner, save the multiple pages as a pdf, open OmniPage and get it to import the pdf file. Then I do steps 2, 3 and 4 manually (though you could do all steps automatically). The result is much better and incredibly accurate text - much better than in the olden days when I could scan directly into OmniPage. The only things occasionally misread are numbers, particularly fractions.
I am scanning two pages at a time and the VueScan OCR, though it otherwise does a quite accurate job, tends to blend the two pages together, so it is not useful for me. It would be far too slow to scan in each page separately.
It's a shame that Caere sold OmniPage to Scansoft. I remember getting regular messages about improved accuracy upgrades and I'd always buy them. Caere cared. Scansoft does not, even though OmniPage still is the best OCR software for the Mac.
If Scansoft is not interested in upgrading OmniPage for the Mac, maybe it should stop hogging it and sell it to someone who would be interested in looking after its users.

Unable to install twain driver for Epson scanner -- Leopard

I finally got the printer driver working for my Epson CX6600.
Downloaded the correct driver from the Epson website and all is fine.
But now my scanner won't work.
The CX6600 is an all-in-one.
The Twain Scanner Driver was paired up in the same download.
However, after downloading the installer file I was unable to install it.
The cursor just spins and spins -- and I then get a repeated warning window asking if I want to open this software downloaded from the Internet.
I have to do a Force Quit to get out of the installer app.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Danty

where you able to resolve this problem? I also have this problem. Can scan manually.

epson scanner perfection 1640 SU <folder is not writeable> seem to happen after mountian lion upgrade .epson site says get the driver from apple. apple says no updates available. I had this problem the last time I upgraded but I do not recall how I fixed it.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Epson Expression 1600XL Scanner driver for Windows 8.1

I have an older Epson Expression 1600XL A3 size scanner. There's no driver for Windows 8 and 8.1 Pro. When I turn the scanner on (on USB), Windows tells me that it is an unknown device. I tried to let the scanner software run in various compability
modes and with administrator rights, but that does not Work. It tells me that "Epson scan cannot start" - probably because the content of the twain32 folder is wrong.
I was advised by Epson to get a an Epson Scan Driver package for another scanner that does comply with Windows 8.1.
The software Works, but it cannot find MY scanner on USB, - it looks only for the scanner the software is made for.
I was then advised to go here and find help for making the Scanner software recognise the scanner.
Any suggestions?

You need to discuss this with the Epson Technical Support. Based on information posted on the Epson Support website, the answer is probably "no":

Is there an Epson RX530 print/scanner driver available for Maverick?

Hi
I have an Epson Stylus PHOTO RX530 that worked quite happily under the previous version of Mac OSX until Mavericks came along.
I've searched the Epson site that refers the solution may be found on the Apple Support site. No joy.
I can't be alone. Has anyone out there found a driver that works?
