Scanner driver non-availability

I have an old scanner (Microtek ScanMaker 4800). It is not recongnized by my Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5).
Scanner has no problem and is working correctly with Windows OS PCs.
Scanner manual says that scanner is compatible for Mac.
Driver software for scanner available only for PowerPC Mac (upto Mac OS X 10.3).
So, I am unable to use those driver software on my current version of Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.
I want to know any possible way to use my scanner with my Mac.

  • 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?

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

  • HT1338 I'm having difficulty getting my scanner to communicate with my new Photoshop CSX trial software. I can purchase the software as soon as i know the scanner works and i can work as normal! i'm looking for a way to download the scanner driver to solv

    Would any of you know by any chance how to find the download for a Mac OS X scanner driver? my Canon LIDE 600F scanner normally works fine - and i've checked and in principle it should be compatible with the latest Photoshop CS6 trial i've successfully downloaded. i've checked the Apple software update and that's fine too. it's just that when i open my photoshop CS6 and go to File - import - scanner, the scanner is 'missing' - and then when i try every which way, an error flag comes up, stating there's an internal error and cites the scanner driver. it looks as though i need a scanner driver download for Mac OS X 10.6. i've googled this and can't find it .... has anyone else encountered this hitch since downloading the latest Photoshop? previously i had Photoshop CS3 - it's the CS6 version now that i'm trying to work with. You know how it is, deadline approaching and trying not to OD on coffee

    The driver may be listed here:

  • How do I install Brother MFC-5840CN scanner driver to eMac OSX?

    I've done the installation but the icon doesn't exist to show that the scanner driver was installed. Plus, when I go to open it up from the CD, it asks me to choose an Application to open it. So far, nothing has worked. Do I need to uninstall it however many times I installed it? And/or what am I doing wrong?
    The Brother printer is an all-in-one w/photoshop. I feel like I must be skipping a step but instructions are not helpful in troubleshooting this. Any help is greatly appreciated!! And I cannot wait until Monday to call Brother. We need the scanning feature for a school project due Monday.
    (And for those of you who offered suggestions to my previous post about which all-in-one printer to buy for an eMac, I thank you very much! For some strange reason, I wasn't notified when your answers came in even though I checked off that box.)
    Thanks again!
    lablady

    a brody,
    I'm installing the file from the CD that came w/the Brother printer. It seems to successfully install to a Mac OSX but when I try to install and open up the BrotherTwain.pkg, it asks what application to use to open it. There aren't a lot of choices and so far, the 2 I have tried don't seem to work. Still trying to figure out what step I'm missing. I'm normally quite good at these technical issues.
    Thanks,
    lablady
    What is the name of the file you are attempting to
    install the drivers from? If it is a .exe that only
    works on PCs. You would be looking for a .pkg, .app,
    or .dmg file. If it there are none, please let us
    know what they are.

  • 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?

  • Acrobat 9 tells me that "Either Scanner Driver is Not Installed or Scanner is Not Connected."

    I have Acrobat 9 and I get a message saying that "Either Scanner Driver is Not Installed or Scanner is Not Connected" when trying to scan from a document. This happened on two separate scanners with updated drivers. I already tried rebuilding my Acrobat installation to no avail. I'm using Windows XP.

  • Won't boot after installing scanner driver

    I am running Leopard on a MacPro.
    I installed a Microtek scanner driver and when it rebooted it just constantly shows the winding gear. It won't go into safe mode, I have tried to use disk warrior and rebuilt the drive, I also tried to do an archival install and it said it cant install... Any other suggestions?

    Hi Kyle,
    Are you holding down the C key when you boot the MacPro from your restore disk?
    See if you can run the Apple Hardware Test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2684
    You can try booting in Single User Mode:
    Home Index
    *Starting up in single-user mode*
    If you want to troubleshoot the startup sequence of your computer using only UNIX commands, you can start up your computer in single-user mode. You should do this only if you are comfortable with UNIX.
    To start up in single-user mode:
    Choose Apple menu > Restart, or press the power button if the computer is turned off.
    Press Command-S as the computer starts up.
    The computer screen is black with standard white text. You can now run the UNIX commands that you want.
    In single-user mode, not all functions of Mac OS X are available. To use the Mac OS X interface or other high-level aspects of Mac OS X, you need to start up in the standard mode.
    To switch back to the Mac OS X interface, type reboot and press the Return key. The computer restarts and you see the login dialog or the Mac desktop, depending on your login preferences.

  • LiDE 200 "scanner driver is not installed" error

    I am struggling on a MacBook Pro to restore functionality of a Canon LiDE 200 scanner after it mysteriously began returning the error message:
    The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install again and then retry.
    The error first appeared under 10.5.8. Troubleshooting that I've attempted:
    Downloading new versions of driver (1482) and MP Navigator EX (2.04) from Canon's website
    Downloading Apple's Canon printer drivers version 2.3
    Logging in as a "test user" and attempting to scan through the Canon application as well as Image Capture.
    No luck
    I then loaded that software onto a different laptop computer, which is running 10.6.3. The scanner works fine.
    So I returned to the MacBook Pro and updated it with 10.6.3 (using a simple update to the software, rather than remove and replace etc), then loaded all the Canon software once again. Still getting the same error.
    Next I opened the Canon application on my second laptop and inspected the processes in Activity Monitor to find every active file, which I then carefully deleted from the MacBook Pro. I also deleted all preferences that I could find. Then, again, I re-loaded the Canon and Apple software and updates. Still getting the error message.
    Stumped.

    Hello Doug,
    I also have a LiDE200 and based on your recent findings I have been checking my user Library for files relating to the scanner, however there does not appear to be anything.
    Under the root Library there is the Image Capture folder and inside is the Devices folder which has the Canon IJScanner plugin. This is the ICA plugin which is used by Image Capture and Preview. Also inside the Image Capture folder is the TWAIN Data Sources folder, which houses the LiDE200.ds file that is used by TWAIN applications, such as MP Navigator.
    These are the two scanner driver resources and with their location they are available to all users. So with only the admin user account having the error there must be something within the admin library but I haven't been able to find what that could be.
    Have you ever had a different model of Canon scanner or even another brand of scanner previously? I know that with a previous Canon scanner that used the CanoScan application, there was a plugin for responding to the buttons being pressed on the scanner. If this application and associated files have been brought across to the new install with you user library, then this may be causing the conflict.
    I'll keep poking around today and reply with more if I find anything.

  • Canon MG5220 driver not available on Software update server

    I'm receiving the following error everytime I attempt to add the Multifunction Canon MG5220 printer ... Connected via USB and WiFi both modes fail to install the printer driver.
    "Can't install the software for the canon MG5220 series becasue it is not currently available from the software update server"
    I've downloaded drivers from the Canon site, however the Mac continues to attempt to reach the update server to get the driver without success. So I've not been able to print.
    Strangley enough, the scanner driver portion is seen, but not the printer.

    Resolved after downloading and running the setup file for this multifunction printer from Canon site.

  • Scanner driver for Konica Minolta 1690MF since new operating system Maverick

    Scanner driver for Konica Minolta 1690MF will not work since new operating system Maverick.
    Update driver came from konica minolta - not through an Apple software update.
    Konica M 1690MF will print as normal but 'image capture' is empty.

    Same problem. I emailed KM support. Was told new drivers were being considered. Not sure what that means. No date given. Have tried several 3rd party drivers, but none work. Would love for someone to post a solution.

  • Can't install scanner driver for Konica Minolta magicolor 1690mf

    I've successfully installed the printer driver for my Konica Minolta 1690MF multi-function printer/scanner/fax.
    However, when I go to try an install the scanner driver, the following error appears:
    "mc1690MF Scanner can’t be installed on this computer.
    The operation system is not adequate for running magicolor 1690MF."
    I am running 10.6.1.
    I downloaded the drivers from the konica minolta website, and it claims the drivers are compliant up to 10.5 (http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productid=1167 )
    Is there any way to get a scanner driver that is compliant for the snow leopard OS? Is there an alternative to waiting for the manufacturer to update their drivers?

    I am having the same problem. I was able to scan last week and suddenly this week image capture cannot find the scanner. The Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690mf prints fine but scanning is not functioning. I looking at drivesr on Konica Minolta's site but there were none for os 10.6.1. I called them in and they could not suggest anything other than reloading the printer. They could not tell me if this was a known problem. The person I spoke with says that with apple making the updates it might be a couple of months before they have a driver for it..... how frustrating I can't use the scanner for a couple of months??? Any suggestions out there?

  • HP Deskjet 3070A, no scanner driver for Mavericks?

    HP Deskjet 3070A - Mac OS X 10.9.2
    I just updated to Mavericks. The printerdriver har been uploaded, comes up in "printers and scanners" as "HP Deskjet 3070 B611 series" and it is working fine. But there is no scanner driver. I have done everything the HP supportsite tells me to, but still can not find any trace of a scannerdriver in anywhere. How can I fix this? 
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Hello Ingebjorg, and welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see you are looking into scan options.  Due to the age of the printer, there is no HP software available. 
    I would recommend following this document on OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac, particularly the section on 'How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?'
    Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • T400 Fingerprint scanner is non-functional+R&R question

    I was hoping to hear from anyone else with a similar configured T400 that has done a clean Win 7 Professional installation.
    Have you had any issues installing and using Fingerprint reader software?
    Have you had any issues installing Rescue & Recovery 4.3?
    I'm having no luck installing R&R, and the Fingerprint scanner is non-functional.
    moderator note: subject line adjusted.
    T400 - 2.53Ghz CoreDuo - 4GB Ram - 200GB 7.2kRPM Encrypted HDD - LED Backlit Screen, Web Cam.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have a T410, not a T400, so I don't know if you have some difference in hardware causing the problem.  I assume your T400 has a UPEK fingerprint reader, like mine, not an Authentec reader?  You can verify this in Device Manager.  My UPEK reader is using the WBF driver, version 1.3.0.214.  I am also using the Lenovo fingerprint software, V 5.9.2.5912.  The older version(s) were not compatible with Win 7.  I'd suggest uninstalling everything, then reinstall the versions I have, thus ensuring you have the latest.  I am unclear why the previous posts discussed NOT using WBF.  Yes, I recall a problem with WBF back in the Win 7 beta days, but it works as designed now, and the non-WBF driver did NOT work for me on Win 7.  So, if you do not have the WBF driver installed, UNinstall the reader from device manager, including telling it to remove the driver software, then install the correct WBF driver.  I have R&R version 4.30, and everything works as designed.

  • Networked scanner driver

    Hello!
    I am thinking about writing a little utility for my scanner.
    Basically I want to network it. Scanner is HP 4100c and it is USB
    based. We usually use NT so that scanner cannot be used unless Win98 is
    available. Cannot stand Win98. So the question is, where do I start?
    I know that LView has good networking and remote control
    capabilities. So remote control is no problem (thank you NI). How do I
    deal with the scanner driver. Should I do like SANE (Linux networked
    scanner drivers) does and talk directly to the scanner, or should I try
    to deal with TWAIN interface for this scanner. Any suggestions
    appreciated! Also how do I deal with USB in LabVIEW. I also want this
    to be a quickie project so any experience
    s will be very appreciated.
    Thank you!
    p.s. TWAIN is rather archaic, isn't it?

    I have used TWAIN and if you are looking for a quickie app. You may be dissapointed.
    I found the TWAIN learning curve a bit steep and if you don't have proper
    documentation
    it will be quite an uphill battle especially if you have a close deadline.
    The Linux
    choice may be good however I have know experience dealing with this.
