"Scanner not installed" problem

I'm using a G-5, running 10.4.11 I use an Epson Expression 1600 scanner in Photoshop (CS3). The last time I used it, as the image finished scanning and appeared on the screen, the computer crashed. (Kernal panic). Since then, I've been unable to use the scanner. In Photoshop, File>Import>Epson Expression 1600, the Epson software launches, but I'm then told there is no scanner installed. I've downloaded and reinstalled the Epson scanner driver, installed a new USB hub, (and also plugged the USB scanner cable directly into the Mac), unplugged and plugged in the scanner. No luck. System Profile shows the scanner (or maybe it's just the driver it's detecting.)
I don't know if the problem is in the scanner, Photoshop, or Tiger. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. If I can't solve it soon, I'm going to need to buy a new scanner.

  • Scanner not installed message in Photoshop Elements 11 --- but preview works!

    I can preview a scan from my Epson V700 Photo scanner, chose the boundaries to scan, etc., but when I hit the scan button, it says that it "cannot complete the import command as there is no scanner installed". How can it commuynicate with the scanner, preview the scan, and then state that the scanner is not installed?
    There is a Twain Plug-in in the Photoshop Elements Plug-in folder

    glad you found your answer hcpaula!
    unfortunately this blog does not describe a way to properly fix Photoshop to read the scanner.  I misread your initial post and thought that PE wasn't reading your scanner at all and that it was being read by the Mac "Preview" app instead of PE previewing your scan properly.  There is a support files folder for Photoshop CS6 but it is different than the one for Photoshop Elements.

  • HP color laserjet 2600n windows 7 printer not installed problem with spooler.

    My computer will not recognize my printers. Nothing new was installed, just all of a sudden, they were gone . Have installed new drivers, and had a very knowledgeable person look at it-nothing. Very frustrating. Have a program  that has been on it from the beginning and now it won't work (quark). Don't know where to turn. Am doing a windows defender scan for viruses as we speak. Help!!!!!

    Could be a lot of reasons. First try to print a supplies status page- If that prints with color on it, you have a driver problem.

  • I finally solved my Canon LiDE Scanner Drivers install problem

    I see there are many threads about LiDE (20/30/80 etc) Canoscan scanners no longer working under Snow Leopard. I had so much trouble and so many re-installs that I was wondering if 64-bit was never going to function with the old (2003) Canon software and drivers. My error was rudimentary - I failed to properly uninstall the scanner driver before I reinstalled. Here's how to clean install LiDE software:
    Go to the website and get the 2008 or 2009 downloads: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=SupportIndexAct
    Start with selecting your Canon scanner series. Next click "OS" and then "OS X". The next part is annoying in that you have to download 3 things, but each one requires a licence "agreement" - and the refreshed page is a little clumsy to work.
    When you have downloaded the latest software - use the Canon uninstall software first. It takes a few minutes to finish, but it will finish. Next install the ToolBox software so that the Driver will have a place to go later. Next install the Driver.
    I believe you can do the above if you already have the ToolBox (without removing the ToolBox). Just properly uninstall the Driver and then install the newest 2008 or 2009 Driver from the Canon website.
    My mistakes from the beginning were: 1.) to install old drivers, then to 2.) install the newer Driver OVER the old Driver, or 3.) to install the Driver first (before the ToolBox).
    I was sooo surprised when it finally worked - I couldn't believe these details matter so much!
    Cheers

    This didn't quite work for me — almost but not quite.
    Download the relevant drivers, the Deldrv program and the Toolbox from Canon as suggested.
    First run the DELDRV uninstaller.
    I found that this did not properly deal with everything! I could load the Scan program but everything crashed when I pressed SCAN. So:
    Delete any existing Scan Toolbox from your user directory. — use APPZAP if you have it.
    Install the Toolbox.
    Install the relevant driver. I received an error message to say that some files could not be found on installation. Despite this the installer returned the installation complete message.
    If Canoscan still refuses to work follow this:
    Open two finder windows (or use Path Finder) so that you have the LIDE (or driver) folder open in one and Route - MacintoshHD/Library/CFM Support in another.
    Open this.
    In the driver's folder open Intro Lib_SFM Support.
    Copy these over into the Library/CFM Support directory (even if the files look as if they are identical).
    r
    Have a good look through the diver folder. It is quite easy to find where some of the folder files fit into the Library structure but you should find most of these are there already.
    For me it was the installation of the CFM files that cracked it !!!

  • Setting-up Problem in Acrobat Pro XI - It says "Scanner Driver is not installed"  How do I fix?

    Each time I try to Create a PDF from my newly installed Acrobat Pro XI  I receive an error message  "Scanner Driver is not installed or scanner is not connected"  How do I fix, as my Brother MFC printer/scanner is connected, as I can print OK.  Plus the scanner is working OK in Acrobat on a different computer?

    You can try installing twain twacker and see if the driver is working properly. You can download twacker from:
    http://www.twain.org/scannerdriverdevelopers/specification-and-tools.html
    If the scanner is working properly with twacker that would mean there are no issues with the scanner drivers.

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • 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.

  • HT4623 I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2.  My iphone is plugged into my lap top that has the most recent version of itunes.  It is a dsl connection.  Is that my problem?

    I have followed the directions and my iphone is not installing the iOS 7.0.2.  I have the most recent version of itunes on my laptop commuter.  my iphone is attached to my laptop via usb port.  The laptop uses dsl not wifi.  Is that my problem?

    Exactly what version of iTunes are you running? And DON'T say 'the latest version'... CHECK the version number. You need to be running 11.1 or higher.

    Hi all,
    Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
    I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
    When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
    When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
    Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
    I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
    Please help !
    Regards,
    Vipul
