I too have an Epson scanner and Epson's scanner software no longer works.
Lion's Preview application allows me to scan (Preview>File>Import from Scanner) with very good options and functionality.
I was in the same boat with my Epson 4180 scanner. Luckily your little trick saved the day and I was able to get something scanned and printed through Preview. I had previously spent a lot of time downloading and installing the updates which did no good, Lion still won't let me use it.
Then I read about opening it through System Preferences and thought I'd found the answer, but that didn't work either. Thanks for your post as it was very helpful to me.

Epson Perfection 2450 scanner not working with Mavericks

My Epson Perfection 2450 scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Mavericks, it is not recognizing the scanner. Tried restarting, using a different USB cable, a different USB port, etc...with no luck. The issue is that my computer no longer seems to recognize that I plugged it in. Tried it with Image Capture, Photoshop, Preview and even the old Epson software.
I tried downloading the Epson Scan Patch for Mavericks released on Oct 31, 2013. That did not help either.
I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.3.
Love this scanner and don't want to have to buy another. Any help to get my Mac to recognize it would be greatly appreciated.

Syd,
My wife's iMac with 10.6.6 stopped working with her Epson 2480 Photo scanner. Get the error message "SCANNER reported an error. An error has occurred during scanning" I am trying to use it from the Image Capture App or from the print/fax option in Settings which opens Image Capture. I ran the uninstall program and then reinstalled the ICA 13969 .dmg but get the same error. Not sure what else I can do.

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):

Hope this helps

Epson perfection 2450 photo and Mountain Lion

Is there anyone who has been able to use their Epson Perfection 2450 photo with Mountain Lion. When I bought my new Apple computer, it had Mountain Lion. I have not been able to use my scanner since then. Is there a way to get the software necessary to use it?

I researched and so far I only have been able to access the Perfection 2450 thru Image Capture in Apps. I had to go to apple software update in my menu bar and get the latest driver. It works fine in IC. It reconizes the 2450. What I was looking for is the program i was using in my macbook 10.6 os. I don't think at this point apple wants you to use an outside program. Image Capture lists periferels and that is the way to access them. I gave up looking further.

Check the Epson web site for updates to drivers and Epson scan software.

I upgraded to Mavericks and can't find a driver to work with my EPSON Perfection 4990 scanner. The Epson site says to update thru my mac but it there is nothing there. Any suggestions?

I upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my Epson Perfection 4990 scanner to work. I had gotten it to work with a driver I downloaded from EPSON with Mountain Lion

Hi...
Epson is vorking on updating drivers and utilities for this scanner.
From the epson site :
"Description:
An OS X 10.9 compatible Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility for this model is not yet available but is coming soon. Please check back for availability."
So, until then you can only use the basic scanning provided by Image Capture.
Alternatively take a look on vuescan.

You might give VueScan a try. It should work with your scanner. There's a demo version that you can use initially.

Scanner EPSON Perfection 2450 photo ne fonctionne plus avec Mac OS X 10.6.8 depuis quelques jours. Pourquoi ?
Le scanner n'apparaît plus dans la liste des imprimantes, aucun des pilotes conseillés par Apple ne permet d'installer le scanner.
Ce scanner fonctionne toujours sur mon mac portable qui n'est pas sous Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Merci de m'aider

Essayez ceci:
Mettez le disque du système d'exploitation de l'ordinateur et redémarrez en maintenant enfoncée la touche C. Lorsque l'ordinateur démarre démarrer le processus d'installation. Ne vous inquiétez pas, vous ne allez pas à installer le système d'exploitation.
Le premier écran demande une sélection de la langue. Sur l'écran après que vous verrez une barre de menu. Cliquez sur Utilitaires et sélectionnez Utilitaires de disque. Lorsque ce est ouvert, sélectionnez le disque dur sur la gauche, SOS, puis Réparer le disque.
Lorsque la réparation de disque est terminée quittez Utilitaire de disque et redémarrez l'ordinateur.

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:

Finally, if you still having issue getting the drivers from ASU try installing the package below and try scanning from Image Capture again:

HT3669 My Epson Perfection 1200 scanner functions as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimet

Epson Perfection 1200 scanner continues to function as a flatbed scanner but when I try to scan transparencies/film negs the control panels change in Image Capture but the scanner bar will not complete the overview scan & cannot travel beyond the first 2/3 centimeters. All the communications seem to recognise the scanner and the mode for the intended scan but the necessary overview scan is not completed, nothing comes up on the Image Capture scan window. If I unplug the film adaptor I can get a document scan. When I plug in the adaptor again the Image Capture details change which allows me to select the type of scan required but when the scanner attempts an overview scan it is unable to complete it.
I have had the scanner from new (12 Years) and have previously scanned slides and film with the adaptor but maybe this was before I upgraded my computer (imac 27").
Do I have to buy a new scanner? It seems so close to working correctly.
I have downloaded the Epson recommended driver (5.4) and have Epson Perfection 1200 6.6 Universal showing in the Applications List.
Any thoughts or observations would be much appreciated before I go out and spend money an new hardware.
Thanks

I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

HT1338 Problems with Epson Perfection 1260 Scanner following latest update

I am having problems with my Epson Perfection 1260 Scanner since the latest update from Apple.

Not sure this will help, but sometimes resetting the printing system helps. All your printers will be deleted and need to be addeda again:

Can Epson Perfection 2580 scanner be used w/OS 10.8.2?

I used my Epson Perfection 2580 Scanner with my old Mac, which was an eMac. I've recently upgraded to an iMac running OS 10.8.2.
The Software Update function downloaded a driver update for the scanner, but when I click on the Scanner icon in Applications, it tells me that this OS no longer supports PowerPC applications.
Online forums talk about using Rosetta, but Rosetta isn't supported by Mac's new OS, etc., etc.
Bottom line: Does this mean I am unable to use this scanner with my new iMac? Does this mean I must march out and buy a new scanner?

Hi diamondhill,
Did you ever get a driver for your Epson Perfection 2580 Scanner. I've just updated to OS 10.8.4 and can't find a driver for it.
Deeply frustrated here.

How to add Epson Perfection V500 scanner to Photoshop CC import device list

How do I add an Epson Perfection V500 scanner to the "File-Import" list in Photoshop CC (64-bit)? I am using Windows 8.1 (64-bit).
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

Vuescan has a 32/64 bit Twain driver and support for Photoshop CC. It supports 2500 scanners and the only one I know that supports 64 bit twain and it supports the Epson V500.
It is a paid solution,but you can try it out and see if you like it.
You can test drive it here www.hamrick.com
The problem with any Twain software is that it puts a hold on Photoshop until the scan is done.
Perhaps the best way is to let the Epson software scan and save to tiff while you are working.

OSX Lion and Photoshop CS5 "scratch disc error"

I've been using Photoshop CS5 for awhile now (about a year and a half). Up to yesterday I was running OSX Snow Leapord with no issues. Yesterday I upgraded to OSX Lion and today, my first day using Photoshop in Lion, I'm getting repeated "scratch disc error" messages with a "quit" button (no other options). Photoshop works fine for awhile, three hours or so, and then I'll get the "scratch disc error" message and will be forced to quit Photoshop and restart.
My main drive is a 2Tb drive with 1.7Tb of available space, so I'm sure scratch disc space isn't a problem. I've got about another Tb of scratch disc space available on two other internal drives. I've got 14Gb of Ram, all memtested and working perfectly. It clearly seems to be an issue with OSX Lion since it never happened before today. A few other details: I'm up to date with Photoshop CS5, I have Open GL turned off because I'm on an older Mac Pro (a 3.0 Ghz dual quad core, 2.1) and my video card doesn't play nicely with Open GL (a whole different kind of crash).
All three times I've gotten the "scratch disc error" pop-up today it seems to have been when I open multiple files. This last time I opened something like 8 files. Big deal; sometimes I open 40 or more without any problems. So can anyone please help me with this issue? I have yet to lose any of my work (I save constantly - a habit born out of past frustrations), so it's managable, but it shouldn't be happening.
Thanks.

I am havng this same exact problem. Recently, I reinstalled my OSX Lion fresh, and also just installed CS5.5 Design Premium. I have been experiencing this same error repeatedly.
On my computer there are two separate Scratch Discs (non-partioned) and when the error first popped up, I tried switching between Scratch Discs. One at a time, even using other drives and still received the same error. I've done everything I can find suggested to no avail. All OS updates are done, CS5.5 is updated, permissions repaired, disks repaired, graphics driver current, OpenGL disabled, etc....
If we can determine a fix, it would be greatly appreciated. Photoshop is an awesome tool that I use extensively, and this is driving me insane!
BTW, here is the error I believe he is getting (same one I see way too many times a day)
Thanks, Billy

Using PSE13 with Epson Perfection V600 Scanner

I own an Epson Perfection V600 scanner and have always preferred the TWAIN driver (see TWAIN not installed | Photoshop Elements 9 and later) over WIA. Since installing PSE13 64 Bit I no longer have Adobe's TWAIN driver.
I recommend using Epson's latest scan utility (last update 7/29/13), running it independently of PSE13, and importing into PSE13 later. The quality is much better than WIA.

Seems the problem was a conflict with another program I have. The Epson software installed after I resolved the problem. I do wish the Epson support people knew more about their software since they were no help at all.
