HT3669 Epson 3170 scanner Driver

Where can I find a Driver for Epson 3170 scanner Driver to use with Mac 10.8.1

I recommend buying the VueScan application to scan with, ESPECIALLY if you have the Epson Perfection 3170 auto sheet feeder like we do. Image Capture is real basic and doesn't support the sheet feeder OR automatically open our scanned PDFs in Adobe Acrobat for editing / OCR like VueScan does.
Look for the trial version on MacUpdate or the VueScan developer's website to try before you buy.

Epson 3170 scanner problem

Apple has effectively killed my Epson 3170 scanner. I have followed most of the post here trying to solve this problem. I have deleted Epson scan and downloaded the driver from Epson that is supposed to work with image capture, but it will not work. This is extremely frustrating when you had a perfectly good scanner and then you upgrade to 10.6 and download the apple drivers for Epson and then it no longer works. If anyone has an idea I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. I apologize if this is a repeat, but I have searched and cannot find a solution. HELP!

I had the same problem but just found the solution in another thread.
You will need to replace /Library/Image Capture/Devices/EPSON Scanner.app with an earlier version of the EPSON Scanner.app and then (for the time being) don't let Software Update install the Epson printer/scanner update. In my case, I didn't have the EPSON Scanner.app at all after installing Snow Leopard.
There's some more info and a download link for a June 2009 version (v 5.0) of the (driver) app in this forum message: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12031583&#12067887
So far, so good: I can confirm that my 3170 is working with Image Capture again using the downloaded app.

How to get CS6 to open Epson 3170 scanner in professional mode? [was:question]

I use an Epson 3170 scanner how do i get cs6 to open it in professional mode?

I recommend that you check on epson's website and see if there is forum that you could ask that question on. As that is very specific question toward epson and requires someone who owns that brand to help you.
Also let them know what version of photoshop you have and what OS you are using, as drivers are specific to each OS.

Epson 3170 scanner drivers for Yosemite?

Hello
I tried to find my epson scanner 3170 driver in mac APP store as is suggested in epson web page:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=25021&infoType=Down loads
But nothing from epson appears in my updates...
Anyone knows how to get the driver for epson scanner 3170 for Yosemite?
thank you

The OS doesn't download scanner "drivers." If the scanner is ICA compliant, you can scan with Image Capture. If it is not, or you wan to use Epson's (or anyone else's) software, you have to download it from them.
There is an ICA driver installed for the Epson Perfection 3170 as noted here: OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support

Epson WF3520 scanner driver for OX Maverick

Hi
Does anyone know if or when a new driver for the WF 3520 Epson all in one printer will be relaeased? I have just tried to use the scanner but it says that I cannot use it with my OS X 10.9.1. Luckily, I am able to print but the scanner is a no no, please help!
Thanks

Do you happen to own an iPhone or iPad? If so, I recommend you download the Epson iPrint app to one of those devices. It could find the Epson printer on the network, and one thing you could do is click the printer there, go to Advanced Settings, then Firmware Update. That would update your printer's firmware if there is such an update available. The app also has a scan function, so you could see if that works.

Epson 1260 scanner driver not working

Updated to OS 10, I no longer have Classic. The scanner worked with Classic, not with new OS, tried downloading and installing new driver from Epson site, when I double click scanner icon, it bounces in dock then stops, the program doesn't open? Any ideas? Thanks.

When you go to System Preferences > Print & Fax, click on the printer then check what it says for "Kind" if it mentions anything to do with Guten Print then you have the wrong driver installed. Remove the printer from the list, install the driver from the following page:
http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&data=FGQ8MBMpKluuNQq HIN7jNpif1fTpfvWP2jui+Hg0obkU003D&id=318867
Restart the Mac, go back to Print & Fax, if the printer hasn't already added click the + button and click on your printers name once, underneath the name it should say Print Using, check this has your printers name in it and then click Add. If this does not work then try a full uninstall process, go to Mac HDD/ Library/Printers and drag the Epson folder to the trash can, repair your disk permissions and then install the driver again from the above link and restart the Mac, go back to Print & Fax, if the printer hasn't already added click the + button and click on your printers name once, underneath the name in Print Using, check this has your printers name in it and click Add. This should resolve any issues you have with missing print settings.

My epson 3170 scanner

has worked fine through past upgrades. Now ML tells me power pc apps aren't supported. Downloaded and installed a new ICA app from epson but I have no idea what Mountain Lion did with it. Can't find it. New kind of problem to solve for me so not sure what to do. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply and suggestion but I've done that step. It's after the installation has occured that I cannot find where the new app has been placed. I've searched the entire hd and nothing new shows.
I found the log but I don't know how to interpret what happened.

Is there anyway to scan documents using the Epson CX3810 on my iMac... I've been using Parallels to just use Window$ to scan, but it's kind of annoying...
Thanks in advance!

Problem with Epson Photo 3170 Scanner

Hi,
I bought a new Apple and installed Mac OS X 10.6.8 and my epson photo 3170 scanner is not working.
I read here that my scanner is supported -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
I did Software update and downloaded the latest version, but still doesnt work.
I also installed Roseta, but i cant find the option in Photoshop (using control+i) it only gives me option for 32bit mode.
any ideas?
thanks ;-)

This is the latest update, not supporting 10.6.x, so i turned to apple, but didn't work either.

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?

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.

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 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":

After installing "Maverick" update m Epson V300 scanner software does to work anymore. Epson does not seem to have a compatible driver

After installing "Maverick" update my Epson V300 scanner software does not work anymore. Epson does not seem to have a compatible driver (yet?).

It's not just scanners, my WACOM graphic tablet no longer works, am told by WACOM support that Maverick will not recognise it as it is too old!!! Worked perfectly with X 10.8 but not any longer - am well cheesed off as its going to cost me a few bob for a new WACOM!!! Thanks Apple

HT3669 scanner perfection V700 photo can't talk to the printer R290 for copy utility after latest scanner driver update

Since downloading the latest scanner driver for the Epson Perfection V700 Photo scanner I cannot use the copy utility to print directly to my Epson stylus Photo R290. I can scan ok to file though.

It is hardly Apple's fault that Epson can't/won't update their driver, but at least Epson suggest that you use the Gutenprint driver, which in any case is far better that what Epson offer.
You can get it here:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
You can download the latest version from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/
Have you downloaded the recent Apple update to Epson drivers?
