Scanner Epson Perfection 1200S with 10.3.9

Has anybody succeeded in using the "Epson Scan" software with SCSI scanners? I have tried hard - in vain. Deleting old stuff and installing newest available drivers did not help.
Invariably a message comes up "Epson scan cannot be started". I know the hardware is working, I use it under 9.2.2 and also a test with a Vuescan trial version was successful under 10.3.9 -.

I sent a detailed report to Epson support Germany one week ago. Today I got an answer (standardized) explaining how to install a 1200 in Windows. I complained immediately and three hours later the support man apologized and wanted to know what type of USB-cable I used?
I Cant't believe it.

Scan a positive transparency with an Epson Perfection 1200 scanner?

I cannot get Image Capture to scan a positive transparency. The overview scan keeps cancelling.
I'm using an Epson Perfection 1200 scanner. It works in the flatbed mode, e.g. scanning a photo.
What can I do to scan a transparency?

I have same issue - have you solved this yet?

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

My Epson perfection 1200

My Epson perfection 1200 does not work since I have installed my new iMac with OSX 10.7. Curiousely, it works with Vuescan ! Any solution ?
The iMac recognise te Epson 1200 and the scanner seems to work at first when i open the Appe's image transfer program or the Epson program. But when I click the preview button, all I get is a grey page. As you can see here:

The scanner is recognised in "System Preferences" : as you can see

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro. Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer. when it came up, the scanner had already been added again. With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible). I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application. I tried it, and it works quite well.

Upgraded to CS5 running Yosemite (mac os 10.10), upgraded scanner Epson Perfection Photo 700, click on "import" and CS5 is not showing scanner dlick on "import" in photoshop

upgraded to CS5 running Yosemite (mac os 10.10), upgraded scanner Epson Perfection Photo 700 software--when i click on "import" CS5 is not showing scanner--what do i have to do to get it to recognize scanner?

Hi Gene,
Persistence pays off: so initially, CS5 was not recognizing my Epson Perfection Photo V700. I reloaded the Epson software twice and using the mac menu for printers and scanners tried to get it to operate. no dice. Finally, on the third try, I went to Finder to look under applications software, found the epson software and clicked on that, and finally got the Epson scan window to open. So now, even tho i can't open it from inside CS5, i can still get the image into CS5 easily by clicking on "open" and going to finder. (Still good to know about Vuescan tho.)
Aloha,

Scanner EPSON Perfection 2450 photo ne fonctionne plus avec Mac OS X 10.6.8 depuis quelques jours. Pourquoi ?

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.

Just bought a new imac with OS 10.10.2- now I have a problem. Cant' use my printer (Epson Stylus 1280, or my tablet Intuos 3, or my scanner Epson Perfection 3200- can't get new drivers and can't afford to replace with new.

Trying to find an affordable answer. My Epson stylus photo 1280 printer is not compatible with Yosemite, neither is my Intuos 3 tablet or my Epson perfection 3200 photo scanner. I need to find second hand options.
What are the options without buying all new everything? What models and drivers are available that are compatible with Yosemite OS 10.10.2?

I know I have to give up on the printer and scanner- but I am going to try to find something to keep my tablet going for awhile.
Are you actually reading the responses that people are giving you?
1. Your printer will work with Gutenprint support, possibly will work with 10.9 drivers.
2. Epson has a scanner Yosemite driver for your scanner.
3. And Wacom has a driver for your tablet.
You have no reason to be that miserable, all things considered.

Scanner (Epson Perfection 1670) doesn't *see* document on flatbed

My Epson 1670 just started exhibiting where it scans but doesn't see a document. I took it off the hub and connected directly but no difference. It doesn't appear to be the bulb as I can see light move along as it previews.
All I get is an all white image.
THis scanner has its own power cable. It just worked a few days ago. I'm not sure what I could of installed recently that would cause this.
Any Ideas?
Ed

I just purchased a MacBookPro 17" and moved my Epson 1670 optimistically to the new laptop.
I HAVE THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM (a blank/white document as the scanned image)! Epson has been less than useless (so far).
On the Epson website the following (similar, but not exact problem) FAQ is answered. I cannot understand what they mean. Does anyone have any understanding or, better yet, a solution to this problem.

Q:
I just installed the Epson Scan software for Mac OS X 10.4.x, but it will not run. It just pops up in the Dock and then disappears. What should I do?
A:
If you're using a Power PC or Intel-based Mac with OS X 10.4.x, your hard drive may be partitioned for Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive/Journaled) or Unix File System. These formats are not supported. You will need to use Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) when formatting the partition.

Driver scanner epson perfection 3490?

Ho appena aggiornato il mio lion osx 10.9 con maverich ed ora la mia stampante epson perfection non funziona più.
Ho scaricato da epson l'ultimo driver ma una volta aperto mi dice non compatibile con questo sistema.
prima dell'aggiornamento maverich lo scanner funzionava, ora non più.
Dove posso trovare il nuovo driver per il mio scanner?
Grazie
Marina

scusami...ma poi mi sono accorta che in epson dicevano che avrebbero aggiornato ma per il momento non era disponibile
ho aspettato e dopo un po' ho trovato il driver
l'ho installato e non mi è stato rifiutatao dal pc
Insomma tutto bene, evidentemente era stato aggiornato
Devo però confessarti che non son così brava a leggere quello che mi hai mandato e a capire come hai fatto
Io con il driver ho fatto e risolto....come si fà con i driver che si montan da soli.
Grazie joni
alla prox
ciao
p.s. mi ero dimenticata di venire a autopostarmi la risposta....anche per aiutare gli altri

Using Epson Perfection 2480 with Tiger and USB 2.0 Macs

Actually I couldn't reply to an older post, since it was archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=959762
So I tought to simply drop some info here about a few findings I had in the last few minutes.
Downloading and installing driver version 2.65 cured this (avoid the newer 2.77 driver; Epson says 2.65 is for OS9, but I have it here running on a Intel Mac). This will install the Epson Monitor software. Now that's a first trick: make sure all accounts in the computer have that on the login items for that account, that has to start as soon as the computer starts. Install the older Epson software even if you plan to use your scanner with Vuescan or Image Capture, for example.
After that, I still had the same problem here, but it was only on the machine with USB 2.0.
Switching the scanner to the keyboard USB plug (1.1) solved the problem. Maybe an older hub could do the trick if you have, let's say, a wireless keyboard.
Good luck,
Gui

Photoshop CS3 does not recognize the scanner Epson Perfection 1670

I'm an new Mac-User on an iMac 24", 2,4 GHz with Leopard. So I will scan some photos, but the Epson Scanner will not be recognize under CS3. Somebody, who can help???
Thanks so much!

Jaclyn.
That is as expected, if you are running a Mac-Intel machine.
When you run CS on a Mac-Intel box, it runs in Rosetta, which emulates a PPC Mac (non-Intel box).
But CS3 runs native in Universal Binary, so it needs Universal Binary drivers.
You can get your scanner to run with CS3 if you set CS3 to run in Rosetta emulation software, but you will experience a substantial performance hit.
The best solution is to scan outside of Photoshop.
This has been covered to death here. Please do a forum search on
Rosetta.

Photoshop CC doesn't 'see' my scanner (Epson Perfection 3170 Photo). I'm on Mac 10.8

There is no 'Twain Acquire' option in menus, nor is there a suitable pluggin showing up in that menu option that would allow me to 'communicate' with my scanner.

Adobe discontinued their old 32 bit Twain plugin for the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS6.
There is no free TWAIN software for 64-bit Photoshop. My recommendation is for the paid 3rd party software, Vuescan, that supports both 32 and 64 bit TWAIN operations in Photoshop for just about any scanner out there. www.hamrick.com
You can use File > Import Images from Device and see if that meets your needs.

EPSON Perfection Series Perfection V600. Is this scanner supported by os x10.9.1

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN USE MY SCANNER >EPSON Perfection- (Series Perfection V600) WITH 0S X 10.9,1 MAVERICK....THE SPECIFICATIONS ONLYS SAYS I MAY USE IT WITH OPERATION SYSTEM 0S X 10.5.. PLEASE HELP...

If Epson has a Mavericks compatible drive, then it will work. Apple doesn't make drivers for printers or scanners, so you have to rely on the mfgr. providing the driver to Apple. If they don't then you look to their support site for help.
