Pse10 will not recognise Epson V750 Pro scanner in Mac 10.7.2

Hi all
I'm having trouble getting my Pse10 Organiser to recognise my Epson V750 Pro scanner with Mac 10.7.2 . In <get pctures from > it goes straight from
< cameras or card readers > to < files or folders > with no scanner option in between.
I have tried installing Twain plugin in every concievable location but the message is always the same < Photoshop does not recognise this type of file > . On opening Pse10 it flashes during initialising < building Twain menu items. Epson V750 Pro > so it must almost be correctly installed. In the hard drive the Twain plugin is described as <alias >.
I have tried : applications/Pse10/support files/optional plugins/import modules/ = Twain . &: support files/plugins/import modules/ = Twain and Anti-Ali...T.plugin . The scanner works perfectly as a copier on the Mac when not in Photoshop so the driver is OK and up to date . The problem is between Mac & Photoshop, this is a purchased DVD installation which I have uninstalled-re-installed several times. The technicians at Adobe suggested trying downloading Trial Pse10 to check if my disc is off but on downloading the Trial it gets stuck every time in < extracting > after ten hous of which I give up .
Someone suggested that this may be a 32 bit / 64 bit problem, I just do not know.
Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.

There is no scanning into organizer on a mac, as explained before in your other thread. Installing the plug-in only enables scanning into editor (in windows, organizer scanning is via WIA only, and there's no WIA on a mac).
If you see alias, you did not move the plug-in, you made an alias for it. You must move the actual plug-in, not make an alias. Just drag it over without pressing any other keys.
This will not work unless your scanner already works with OS X scanning. When it's connected and you open Preview and go to File>Import from Scanner, do you see your scanner listed?

Epson 4490 Pro scanner

Just a quick report to say my Epson 4490 Pro scanner works great with the latest Epson drivers, which I had already installed, Version 3.03A. Hope this helps.

Glad to hear the scanner works under Snow Leopard. However, there were lots of components and utilities that came packaged with the scanner software and I'm wondering if they all still work as well.
For example, I frequently use the Epson Copy Utility with my scanner & printer to do my photocopying. I also occasionally use the Abbyy FineReader character recognition software that came bundled with the printer. It was already fairly old software when I bought my scanner (FineReader 5 Sprint +) but I hope it still works with Snow Leopard (obviously Rosetta would need to be installed).
Has anyone out there tested these components with Snow Leopard?

Bundled software with Epson V750 Pro scanner

Having just bought an Epson V750 Pro scanner (4th October 2013) I find the bundled Adobe Elements is version 9. Should i not be entitled to version 12?

Not as of right because this is for Epson to decide, not Adobe because Epson must have bought a bulk/volume license for a specific version and that is it. even DELL are still offering version 10 on their [some] machines.

Lion and Epson V750 Pro Scanner

Has anyone found a way of getting the scanner to work with Lion?
My original instal was from the supplied disc and all was OK until I upgraded to Lion.
I then got "PowerPC applicationsno longer supported".
I've uninstalled drivers and put in the latest v3.81 (325489eu.dmg:en:3.810), which isn't very recent!
The scanner goes through preview ok and then scans but will not load the scannerd file to the Mac. "Unexpectedly quit" every time!
I've chatted with Epson several times but they can't help.
I'm about to quit and hook the scanner up to a Windows PC.
It seems to me that Epson haven't seriously tackled Lion for this application.
Barry

For that older scanner, on its website Epson is referring its Users to the following website as the ONLY source for compatibility with LION (and, Yes, you have to Pay for it):

Photoshop CS6 on a Mac using an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer.

Installed Photoshop CS6 on a Mac Version 10.9.4. Installed an Epson Stylus PRO 3800 printer. When I try to print through Photoshop the dialogue box won't give the option to color manage. I followed the link suggested in the print dialogue box but that was for CS5 and said it will only work with TIFF files. I work with .psd files. I downloaded it but my Mac will not let me open it. Any help would be most appreciated. Mary Ellen

From Chris Cox: If you choose "Photoshop manages color", then Photoshop is managing the color and the printer driver is supposed to disable it's color controls (and let Photoshop manage the color).
If Photoshop is managing the color, then there is nothing else for the printer driver to do - so it grays out it's own color controls because they don't apply while Photoshop is managing the color.

Did you download and install all of these from the Epson website?

I have a fairly new 27" iMac running Mac OS10.6.7, I'm trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless network. I have installed the latest Epson drivers.

I have a fairly new iMac running OS 10.6.7. Im trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless internet. I have installed the latest drivers. It was working a couple of months ago. My wife is on the same network using a MacBook Pro and the same OS and is having no problem.

I have been using an Epson 3800 with my I Mac for four years and up untill I upgraded to OSX Lion the only problem I had was colour issues associated with some ICC profiles. After upgrading to Lion and downloading the latest OSX update (10th May) I could not print.
One of the problms was that the print settings continuously defaulted to:
Page Setup: Sheet Feeder
Media Type: Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster
I would change the settings to what I wanted, I saved them selected Print. My printer promptly started changing from Matte ink (what I had set my print setting s for) to Photo Black.
After trying all i could to correct this. I finally gave up and rang the Epson Helpline. After 3 telephone calls over a day and a half during which I was talked through the procedure you described, the problems were still not resolved.
My contact on the Epson Helpline then tried to simulate the problem on his MAC. He discovered that he had the same problem the print settings would not save, albeit on a Epson 3880 driver. He then advised me that the problem was not with thw Epson Drivers it was a MAC/Apple problem.
I then rang the Apple Helpline (at £1.35 a minute) described the problem and was eventually put through to a supervisor. Who asked me to send her a set of screen shots describing the problem, This I have done, I have received an acknowledgement of receipt and have been advised that I should get a response within two working days.
I am waiting hopefully.
I have tried to print both via CS5 and Aperture the problem is the same in both instances.

Epson Perfection V750 Pro Scanner

Can anyone tell me if the Epson Perfection V750 Pro Scanner also scans documents, If not does anyone know of a similar scanner which does?

It scans prints so I think it's just a matter of switching to a "Documents" setting in the software. I have a V700 but have never scanned documents on it. Any cheap flatbed scanner will scan documents so I wouldn't risk scratching your V750 glass or something if you can use something else.

How do I install an Epson scanner support "sit extension" file in my iMac

I want to use my Epson Perfection 4180 scanner on my iMac 'puter but I have only a Windows PC scanning file. I have gone to the Epson site and have downloaded a 28205 scanning support file, but cannot install this as it is a ".sit file". can anyone help me?

It's a zipped file. Either double-click it or use Stuffix Expander to unstuff it.

Epson AL CX16NF scanner install problem

I have tried install latest Epson CX16NF scanner drivers many time, but scanner utility not showing in utilities or image capture.
Whata I should do?

Printing works fine.

I have contacted Epson and for now it's useless as the driver they give me is for Snowleopard
Now I have done another test.
Deinstalled all my printers, and reinstalled. but without success.
By the way, meanwhile I am experimenting another issue, is that I can print only once when I install the driver and then I am not able

Can an Epson Perfection 1260 scanner be installed to a 15" G4 Powerbook? If so, how?

Hello! I am still trying to understand this 15" Powerbook G4 and how somethings work on it. I am used to working with a windows based computer that I have built. What I am trying to do is to install the software from an old scanner I have (the only one I have) so that I can upload pictures to it that I have drawn. Does anyone know how to install the software for this scanner to this type of computer? Can it be installed to this computer? If you know that it can be done would you please let me know how? Thank you.

Hello,
Depends on what version of Mac OS X is installed. You will require classic mode to use this scanner.
Macintosh computer (blue and white G3, G4 or higher, or iMac) running Mac OS 8.6 - 9.2.2, (OS X 10.1.2 Classic mode only*).
Note for Mac OS X users: You can use the scanner only in the Classic mode. If you are using a version earlier than 10.1.2, switch to Mac OS 9 to use the scanner.
You can install the scanner software while in classic mode.
Hope this help.

Does the Epson Expression 1600 Scanner work in SL?

Does the Epson Expression 1600 Scanner work in Snow Leopard? Did you have to install Rosetta to get it to work?
I use my MacBook Pro for business and it is vital that everything I use works properly. From what I've seen on these posts, I may be waiting a long while to upgrade.

People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan ( ).
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
Hope this helps

Epson Perfection 1650 Scanner won't work with 10.7.5, help?

I am trying to use my EPSON PERFECTION 1650 scanner with my MacBook Pro, software version 10.7.5. The old driver does not work with Lion. I ran software update, with the scanner connected, and it did not come up with any new Epson software to install. Can anyone help me locate this driver? When I googled Epson driver for this operating system, it says I have to run software update on the Apple and it will automatically come up. But I have had no luck. Someone help please? Thanks, Chris

Hi,
As listed on Epson's site the drivers are available via Apple Software Update.
Ensure the scanner is powered on and directly connected to your Mac, then try following the steps below:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=14551&BV_UseBVCooki e=yes&infoType=Downloads&platform=OSF_M_X7
Now try opening the Image Capture application within the Applications folder and check if your scanner appears.
If the scanner cannot be located yet try restarting your Ma and check for any difference.
If the same still persists try resetting the printing system, then try adding the scanner again as listed on Epson's site.
You may reset the printing system as following:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11143
Finally, if you still having issue getting the drivers from ASU try installing the package below and try scanning from Image Capture again:

Epson V500 Photo scanner wireless connection

I would like to make a wireless connection to my Epson V500 (Photo) scanner to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks. It is unclear if this is possible from the Epson side and on the MacBook Pro side the Scanner doesn't show up under Preferences>Sharing or Preferences>Printers & Scanners BUT I can scan from the laptop if connected by USB cable.
Questions:
A. Can the Epson V500 (Photo) be accessed wirelessly?
B. If yes to above, how do I set this up on the MacBook?
Thank you

I ran into a similar problem (loss of functionality) with an Epson 7600. I traced my problem to letting software update substitute its Epson drivers for what Epson had originally provided for the printer. It got worse when installing Lion. Fortunately, I expected that problem so I applied the updates to clones of the working installation, using both more recent Epson software for their long-abandoned printer and what came down with software update. Testing the clones showed me that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" so I stayed with the old installation, updating only the system software to 10.6.8.
You may face a further issue in that the working Epson software may have been at least partially written in code meant to run on a PPC Mac, not Intel, and Apple removed all support for that when moving from 10.6 to 10.7. That may be why Epson shows printer driver support only through 10.6 on its website.
One of the beauties of the Mac Pro is that you can have multiple HD drives with multiple partitions so there's plenty of room to do tests like that. But it really shouldn't be necessary...
