Epson Scanner/Printer

I just installed Arch64, and really dig this distro. However, I am trying to set it up with my Epson CX4900 all in one scanner/printer. I have installed sane, xsane, and Kooka, I am having trouble installing/compiling Iscan however. On my previous openSUSE install, it uses "iscan-free" driver.
When the system boots up it correctly detects it being connected to my USB. However, when i run "sane-find-scanner" i get this message.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x082b [USB2.0 MFP(Hi-Speed)]) at libusb:001:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
I am at a loss about what to do next to access this scanner.
Help appreciated, and thanks in advance.

With Arch I never managed to get iscan running with my Epson Perfection 1260 Photo. With plustek backend it's working, but I like iscan better (with epkowa backend) because it provides a faster scan and better colors in result. I would appreciate any ideas...

Epson scanner error message: missing file info.plist

I've been wrestling with an epson scanner/printer I got free with my mbp a year ago. The printer worked fine, but every time I tried installing the scanner drivers, I was foiled by the error message "missing file: info.plist..." I was reduced to scanning on my sloooow dell desktop at work. After a few rounds with epson support, they suggested I install the drivers on a different user account on my computer. Problem solved! It works, even on the original user account.

Upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined.Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and clicked Update for the Epson printer software. Update occurred by I chose "not now" to a dialog and it didn't install

Hi, upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined. Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and an Epson Printer Software Update appeared in the App Store Updatees area. Clicked Update for the Epson printer software. During the download, I was presented with a dialog asking me if I wanted the software to be automatically installed. I chose the "not now" option and as far as the App Store in concerned the software was installed, but it has not been. Where did this go to and how can I force it to install? Or is there some way to force the App Store to go through the download process again. Many thanks! Joseph

How to pair Cloud software with an Epson 545 Scanner/Printer? [was:Help!]

I have an Epson 545 Scanner/Printer. Recently I purchased a Creative Cloud 1 year program. However I cannot pair the 2 together which means that the Craeative Cloud Program is useless. What must I do to get them to work together?

Calibrate the computer screen. You will need an external device to do this properly.
In Editor, go to Edit>Color settings and check "Optimize Colors for Computer Screens"
In Editor, go to File>print>More options (lower left on the dialog)>Color Management Tab>Color Handling drop-down - select "Printer Manages Colors". Under Rendering Intent, select "Relative Colorimetric"

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.)

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

"EPSON Scanner" file installed with OS X - Why?

In /Library/Image Capture/Devices is an item named "EPSON Scanner"; its icon looks like a puzzle piece, with a camera on it. Get Info says it's an "Application (Universal)"; it's 6.3 MB in size. I've never owned an Epson scanner; this apparently came with OS X (10.4)? Do I need it for anything if I don't have an Epson scanner?

Hello Graham Rogers! I've enjoyed reading your online
Mac essays. Sorry to hear about the loss of your
PowerBook.
Oh, gosh. Blush, blush. Thanks. Standby for some more news on the PowerBook theft.
I'm guessing that this is something that someone just
tossed in to OS X on the assumption that a lot of
people have Epson scanners. Like all those printer
drivers that I don't need and didn't install.
I am in two minds about these. Clearly, most of them we will not need, but there is no telling when we might need one. A simple case in point is when, in my office, the venerable HP DeskJet 920C packed up (for which I had not needed an extra driver) and a replacement Epson was wheeled in. Unlike my Windoze using colleagues, I just switched in an instant, no CDROM required.
So I tend to leave this stuff alone.
I prefer to keep my System installation trimmed down
Me too, and that is why I reinstall and choose not to have all the different language packs. That saves a fair amount of space.
These are, after all, personal computers.

Thanks for the follow up.
Barbara Brundage in the Photoshop Elements Forum will probably have the answer to your Photoshop Elements Epson scanner issue. Look into that Twain driver. She will give you good input on all this.
Also, see your other thread about Adobe telephone contact information. I have posted in that other thread also.

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.

VUESCAN & V550 EPSON SCANNER

I need some help from the experts here. I recently bought Vuescan in order to get the best out of my new Epson 550V. But the Vuescan does not see that scanner. I also have a Canon all in one printer that scans & Vuescan does see & scan from it.
The Epson Scanner software does see & scan from the 550
Image cature only offers the Canon all in one as a source but not the Epson.
System Printer & Scanner prefs pane does not see the Epson scanner
In "about this mac" system report" USB it does see that the Epson scanner is connected to the computer
I exchaned many emails with Ed Hamerick of Vuescan but he finnally gave up & could not resolve the problem
Does any have any ideas as to how I can get this epson scanner recognized by vuescan as well as image capture?

For those who come across this problem I have found a soution.
Sometime I get very motivated by a challenge!!! I noticed a posting on the Appe Discussion Board about ICA driver that would allow for using the Epson Scanner in Image Capture so I d loaded it from http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 231162&prodoid=63097270&infoType=Downloads&detected=yes&platform=OSF_M_X9 &
After I installed the ICA driver everything was fixed. The Epson Scanner shows up in Vuescan & works properly. It now shows up in “Printer & Scanner” preference pane, & it shows up in Image Capture.

Epson scanner not work with Mountain Lion?

I have an Epson Expressio 1600Pro scanner with transparency adaptor. It has worked perfectly with previous Macs using OSX 10.4. I have recently bought a MacBook pro and upgraded it to OSX 10.8. I went to Epson's website to get a new driver etc. That tells you it can only be downloaded via Mac Software Update. That was duly done and installed. System prefs lists it under printer and scanners. OK
I have also installed Photoshop Elements 11 and expected to be able to scan direct to there but nothing seems possible. Going to Help says use Image capture or Preview. Yes! there is a small very rudimentary scanning window appears in both apps. Now the problem! Nothing happens. I have tried ALL the various meagre settings on offer, changing size, resolution, custom etc and all that happens is a small rectangle of a scan occurs but no resulting file.
I have been on to Epson who say ONLY image capture will work with 10.8 but as it is a 3rd party software they can offer no assistance. Well image capture does NOT work. I have spent all afternoon trying various things like restarting, unplugging, reconnecting etc etc nothing.
10.8 does seem very buggy. I have even had to stop using Mail and Safari simply because it doesn't work whereas Thunderbird and Firefox work very well.
But I digress, does anyone have any thoughts please?

The following comments are based on installing an Epson RX700 All-in-one printer/copier/scanner so they may not be applicable to you but, for what it's worth here they are. The RX700 scanner worked perfectly with Snow Leopard and then Lion but, when I changed to Mountain Lion, and used the app store to download and install the drivers, I lost the Epson scanner utility (ie. the user interface that gives you all the scanner options).
However, if I used System Preferences and then the Print and Scan option, it brought up a small window where I could select either Print or Scan. Selecting Scan or Open Scanner from this window then opens up a window with all the scanner options in it, including an overview scan. This window has the option to either Hide Details (all the detailed scanner options - resolution, size, output file name etc) or Show them. As far as I can see, this window is actually the Image Capture app, although it doesn't say so.
It might be a long shot but try changing the Auto Selection box in this window to one of the other options (eg. "Detect Separate Items") or setting the "Scan to" to a file.

Epson scanner perfection 1200 photo not working since ML

hi,
my epson scanner perfection 1200 photo worked fine on snow leopard. since my upgrade to mountain lion (no lion in between), i cannot use it any more - although it is still in the list of supported models.
now i am on 10.8.2. i have downloaded the latest SW update with the scanner connected and switched on.
i can assign, unassign and reassign it in utilities. i can change settings (i cannot change the selection for scanning, though). but as soon as i do an overview scan, it will abort. same behaviour when trying to scan.
this happens identically when working in image capture or direct from print scan utility.
i have tried to remove the epson scan plist and the image capture plist from user preferences. no effect.
some time ago already, i got in touch with epson service. they sent an outdated installer and provided information different from their website. :-(
questions:
- did anyone get this scanner to work with ML?
- any ideas what to do?
thank you!

Hi All !
I installed the new drivers for my Epson Perfection V700 Photo. And it is working as supposed to !
Go on the Epson web site and download the drivers. Follow the simple instructions and be ready to drive your scanner as before !

Photoshop elements 13 doesn't recognize my Epson scanner

I have a Epson Workfoce 545 wireless printer/fax/scanner and newly installed Elements 13 doesn't recognize the scanner. Do any of you in this community have a suggestion?

The scanner is NOT present in the network. The "all in one printer" that the scanner is a part of is listed, however.

Epson drivers in conjunction to the 10.4.6 update .... Epson 2200 printer

I have a Epson 2200 printer seems something has happened to Epson drivers in conjunction with the recent 10.4.6 update .. getting "jobs stopped " from Epson borderless driver when I try to print anything ...
Any ideas ?
I know the Epson 2200 drivers on Mac have been buggy for years .
I know the Epson 2200 drivers on Mac have been buggy for years .. it is only recently been able to get Epson 2200 to work properly & consistently is controlling via Lightroom's print module
I know Epson 2200 is primarily a photo printer , & I know does not work as a photo printer on airport .. only as a standard text printer a job it does lack luster ..
I know Epson 2200 has multiple drivers , seven drivers in fact .. borderless , roll paper , roll paper borderless .. etc .....
I am guessing something has happened to Epson drivers in the 10.4.6 update .. printer a Epson 2200 printer (& scanner Epson 2450 scanner are unavailable (getting a "could not complete the import command because there is no scanner installed " for the scanner from CS2 )

You might try resetting the printing system and reinstalling the printer. I know that when I upgraded my system at one point, the borderless printing driver had been folded into the other driver and was available through Page Setup. So you may be trying to use a driver that has been rendered obsolete.

Printing help. My Epson wireless printer won't print. Airport seems OK. I get the following message.../Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Cont ents/MacOS/rastertoescpII failed. What am I missing?

I can't get my Epson wireless printer to print. All seems well. Turned on and off. Green lights abound. My computer seems to see the printer.
Error message as follows:
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/ rastertoescpII failed
Can anyone help?
Thanks

You did not tell us how you installed the printer so it's a little tough to troubleshoot. Please carefully look over Printing Overview OS X Lion for instructions on how to add a printer. Also look on Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if your printer is compatible with OS X.
Finally PLEASE update your profile using the Profile Update link.
