Scanning with Epson 2450 on OS X 10.7.5

I use an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo scanner with Photoshop CC on OS X 10.7.5; I scan once then have to quit Photoshop and turn it back on before I can scan the next picture. I have updated the driver, and reset the printers/scanners list but the problem remains. Any suggestions?

  • Can't scan with Epson Stylus DX4450

    Hi everybody.
    I'm trying to configure my Epson Stylus DX4450. Printing works like a charm, but scanner is not. I tried to configure it as it was suggested on various websites. I've installed sane, xsane, iscan (from http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686) also I've downloaded iscan-plugin-cx4400 from Avasys website, extracted it with rpmextract ant put the library to /usr/lib/iscan.
    When I try sane-find-scanner it shows:
    # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
    # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
    # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
    # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
    # you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [Language Error], product=0x083f [Language Error]) at libusb:002:010
    # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
    # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
    # Not checking for parallel port scanners.
    # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
    # can't be detected by this program.
    # You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
    # found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as
    # necessary.
    When I try scanimage -L it's idle for about a minute and then it shows:
    No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
    check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
    sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
    which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
    But when I try it again it shows:
    device `epkowa:libusb:002:010' is a Epson flatbed scanner
    Then if I try sane-find-scanner again it will show no language errors:
    found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x083f) at libusb:002:010
    xsane will check for available devices for some time, then it shows a message, that no device is available. iscan shows a message "Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanners status". Sometimes iscan will launch, but I can't scan, because it will show me the "Could not send..." error message.
    Device usually turns off when I try xsane. Two times xsane launched, but Epson turned off right after it. It also turns off sometimes when I try sane-find-scanner second time or when I try to launch iscan.
    I read that there can be a conflict between sane and gphoto, moved /etc/udev/rules/54-gphoto.rules and restarted udev - still didn't work.

    # Copyright (C) 2004 Olaf Meeuwissen
    # See sane-epkowa(5), sane-scsi(5) and sane-usb(5) for details.
    # SCSI scanners can be configured simply by listing the path to the
    # device. For example, if your system claims to have a /dev/scanner
    # SCSI device, all you have to do is uncomment the following line:
    #/dev/scanner
    # In the interest of maintainability, most installations would have
    # /dev/scanner sym-linked to the real SCSI scanner device node.
    # An alternative way that works for many operating systems and is a
    # little bit more generic, is to have the backend probe for your SCSI
    # scanner with the following configuration command:
    #scsi EPSON
    # On systems with libusb, the following line is sufficient to get the
    # backend to recognise your USB scanners. It presumes, however, that
    # the scanner---more precisely, it's USB product ID---is known to the
    # backend.
    # For all USB scanners that are officially supported by this backend,
    # this presumption is true. A list of such scanners can be found in
    # sane-epkowa(5).
    usb 0x4b8 0x83f
    # For any USB scanner not known to the backend (yet), you may, at your
    # own peril(!!), force the backend to recognise and use it via libusb.
    # You can do so by the following configuration command:
    # usb <USB vendor ID> <USB product ID>
    # SEIKO EPSON's USB vendor ID is '0x04b8' (without quotes). In order
    # to find the USB product ID, use lsusb(1) or, on Linux systems, peek
    # at the information in /proc/bus/usb/devices.
    # A sample configuration for the Perfection 1650 (GT-8200), which has
    # a product ID of 0x0110, would look as follows:
    #usb 0x04b8 0x0110
    # When not accessing your USB scanner via libusb, you may need to use
    # one of the configuration commands below or commands that are almost
    # the same. These commands typically access the scanner via a kernel
    # scanner module.
    usb /dev/usb/scanner0
    usb /dev/usbscanner0
    usb /dev/uscanner0
    # Linux had a scanner module until version 2.6.2. As of version 2.6.3
    # libusb is your only option. Linux' scanner module can be loaded via
    # the modprobe(8) command like so:

    Can anyone help with this?

    Almost solved.
    First I've copied files extracted from iscan-plugin-cx4400.rpm from /usr/lib/iscan to /usr/lib/sane. Didn't work.
    Then I've checked version of iscan with yaourt and it appeared that aur have newer version than the one from archlinux.fr repo. I've built it, moved epkowa.conf.pacsave to epkowa.conf and it worked once.
    sane-find-scanner output was the same, with language errors, but scanimage -L showed that it found my scanner (don't have the exact output - it was different than before). xsane still didn't found the device but I managed to preview and scan to file printer test page with iscan.
    When I tried it for the second time, sane-find-scanner output was the same, but scanimage -L didn't recognised the scanner. iscan didn't work. Tried to restart the device - still the same.
    Tried to turn off the scanner, restart udev, start scanner again. Didn't work.

  • Scanning with Epson RX500 and trying Image Capture

    I have an Epson RX500.It prints and copies fine. It was scanning fine, using Photoshop Elements,for two years but now it is not recognized (I think this has something to do with updated Tiger 10.4.8. I've tried to reinstall the TWAIN and scanning software but that was useless. I've tried to use Image Capture but get the message when the Scan Setup opens up that "The scanner EPSON Stylus Photo RX500 is in use by another application..."
    Can anyone help?

    Eric,
    There are one, or more files (plist, I think), that need to be purged, so that new copies can be made. I don't have those listed anywhere, that I can remember, but if you call Epson, a tech should be able to lead you through them. I only had this problem when I upgraded to 10.4, from 10.3, so memory is hazy.

  • When updating to OS X 10.9 could not scan with Epson XP-415.

    After downloading new Software Epson Scan (v3.791) 03-Dec-2013 from
    http://www.epson.co.uk/gb/en/viewcon/corporatesite/products/mainunits/support/12 304
    all scanning features were operational again.
    BUT
    When updating further to OS X 10.9.1 scanner went again inoperational giving the message:
    (no changes in any settings were done)

    I have no problems with printing operations.
    On/off tested.
    Connection is wireless.
    The history:
    - Originally scanning was operational on Snow Leopard OPS
    - Updating to Mavericks 10.9 caused scanning failure
    - Updating Epson Scan (v3.791) 03-Dec-2013 corrected the scanning problem
    - Updating to Mavericks 10.9.1 caused again scanning failure
    I also tried the Image Capture app:
    System preferences -> Printers and Scanners .> Scan -> Open Scanner ,,,  
    And it works !
    I think the Epson Scan software only has problem.

  • Scan problems with Epson XP-800

    Just switched to Mountain Lion and now cannot scan with Epson XP-800. Just get empty files. Installed Epson new drivers, but no help. Printing is fine. Any ideas?
    MacBook Pro 2,5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (early 2008)
    4 GB RAM
    OS X 10.8.

    Eric - First, thank you for such a quick response!
    Yes I've tried your suggestions already.  When I open Image Capture it reads "No Camera or Scanner Selected".  There is no way to load a scanner.  :\
    When I open System Preferences/Print&Scan, click on the Epson, click on Scan, click on Open Scanner... the little scan "icon" in the upper right hand corner isn't lit up. 
    In Preview, when I click on "Import from Epson XP-800 Series", the screen is blank.  Eventually an error reads "An error occurred while communication with scanner.
    Nor can I scan from the Epson into my Mac.
    I'm not the only one.  I found one other person online with the same problem.  My sister and I also have the same printer and she's the one who alerted me of the problem.  When I tried to fix her printer... I couldn't do.  So I checked mine... same problem as her's. 
    This problem started after one of the last 2 upgrades, because we were scanning not that long ago.
    As for the link you provided... been there, done that.  I already uploaded their most recent driver... and nothing changed.
    Please help we are dead in the water on some work projects!!!
    With sincere appreciation,

  • Epson 2450 poor scanning since OSX 10.4 update.

    I have an old Epson 2450 Photo which used to work quite well using the Epson Twain software & PhotoShop Elements 2 in Mac OS 9.
    Since upgrading to Mac OSX 10.4, the scanner doesn't do NEARLY as well. At first it wouldn't even recognize the scanner. Epson support finally came up with a download which at least allows scans, but it's very basic - no controls, and not very good film scans.
    I have been advised to just use OS9 ("classic") but the Twain software no longer exists in OS9 - the download required that all old Epson software be discarded.
    I'm trying Vue Scan in OSX, but the results aren't very good. Working with a professionally shot 35mm color neg on Fuji NPS 160 film (one of the few specific films said to be supported in the trial version) the color quality is very poor. Ed Hamrick's suggestion:"try 'generic'." doesn't do any better. Costco has NO problem printing this neg. (I got a 12"x18" print for comparison while trying to perfect these scans, just 3 bucks!)
    Does anyone know how to make this scanner work as well as it did in OS 9 ?
    Anyone have any ideas? Could I just discard the new Epson "Fix" and re-load the old software & use it in OS9? I'm a bit afraid to try it in case it will will ruin everything.

    Hi Kat,
    I've read several, (hundreds?), of these complaints, trouble is there are many different reasons... I'll name a few to start us off...
    Using Delta Updates rather than Combo updates.
    Certain Broadcom Chipset based Modems/Routers might work fine for months, but then won't with Macs. Many varied symptoms including yours.
    Trashing these files and rebooting and setting up Network Prefs again...
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
    /Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Geez, there's too many to name off, but...
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, boot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    If it doesn't fix the problem

  • Scanning wirelessly with Epson printer and OS 10.6.4

    Cannot scan wirelessly with Epson NX515 and 10.6.4. Will print, but not scan. Will only scan with ethernet connection and using Image Capture app.
    Error message indicates No Connection. But there is a connection because I can print wirelessly.
    Thank you.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Ella.
    Epson Support indicate that you must install Apple's Rosetta software - available from the installation disk for SL. In addition they indicate a communication problem which they are working on but I don't know how old this message is, ie how well they keep their website updated, nor do I know whether this affects wireless communication for scanning.
    Epson also indicate that some of their supplied software comes from other companies and you might need to download updates from those companies directly. This might apply to the scanning software or a component of it. They do give web links for this.
    I don't know how compatible this model is with wireless scanning but there is a note about making sure that the wireless settings allow the a/b settings as it's not able to operate through the n setting. I imagine that the settings are usually set for compatibility.
    You should use Software Update to ensure you have the latest Epson software.
    Note that scanning seems to put greater demands on the network than printing.

  • Epson 2450 Scanner no longer available as an import into Photoshop

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with my Epson 2450 scanner importing into Photoshop. Last week with thoughts of upgrading, I purchased an Epson V700. I installed the scanner but found it not to my liking and returned it. Yesterday I downloaded and ran the Uninstaller to remove the V700. This however deleted my 2450 driver as well. I reinstalled the 2450 driver from Epson but then, and after repeated attempts, found that the 2450 is not showing up as an import option. Please note that I am still using Tiger. Any suggestions to getting this all working again as it has for the past 8 years would be greatly appreciated. One simple use of an uninstaller has turned for the worse - I wish I had just kept the V700 installed and just ignored that it was still listed in Photoshop as an import choice. (Please note also, that I am a high school photo teacher and was planning on giving the 2450 to my school. I was not able to load the driver and use the scanner through Photoshop on our school Macs either.)
    Thank you,
    Nick M.

    Hello, did you repair Permissions & reboot yet?
    One possible option is Vuescan...
    http://www.hamrick.com/
    It supports the 2450, can be made to send the scan directly to PhotoShop, and has many more features than Epson's SW does.

  • Epson 2450 Using Photoshop CS (v8) OS 10.6.3

    Having trouble using my Epson 2450 scanner after installing OS 10.6.3 I am using an older version of Photoshop CS (I guess it would be version 8). I have installed the epson twain driver utility 2.77 When I select import and choose epson 2450 photoshop basically crashes. There is not an option in this version of photoshop to print using rosetta when I do a get info on it. I'm disappointed that I can no longer scan into photoshop. Any suggestions or remedies are much appreciated.

    This is a help forum, not a social forum to make obscure irrelevant posts like yours. If you have a helpful piece of information that might help someone, then by all means post it. If you merely post your opinions of which you have no knowledge of, then you have not served the forum in the best way, but merely blurted out senseless information that is of no use to anyone. TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT THIS SCANNER AND SNOW LEOPARD DO WORK TOGETHER as I have previously posted. Epson advised to keep checking to see if they update their drivers for Mac OS 10.6.3 so that you can use the scanner from within Photoshop. I only hope that such posts such as yours don't discourage other users that use these discussion forums to help find answers to their questions. I AM lucky that I don't stop investigating issues that I have with my Mac due to incorrect or personal opinions that are posted in these forums.

  • Photoshop CS5 not recognizing EPSON 2450 flatbed scanner

    I am on a MacPro....OS X 10.6.8. I am running Adobe Photoshop CS5. I need to be able to run my EPSON 2450 flatbed scanner through Photoshop. But when I go to File > Import > it's not there. Please explain where I can find the TWAIN plug-in, where to laod it and how to make it so it shows up under, "Import" so I can operate the scanner through Photoshop.

    Scanning with TWAIN has become increasingly buggy.
    Why not just use the Epson scanner software that came with the scanner?
    That way you can continue to use Photoshop while using Epson to scan.
    There are more features available from Epson than with Image Capture.
    However, if you feel the need to use TWAIN, here is the link for Mac CS5 plugin.
    Five seconds with Google would get you this:

  • Epson 2450 scanner oddness

    I'm having an issue with an Epson Perfection 2450 scanner that worked fine with Lion until recently.  Now I cannot get the scanner to work and there are odd things going on.
    I've reset my printer system in system prefs and unplugged/restarted the scanner and restarted my mac several times.  The scanner either doesn't show up in Preview or shows up multiple times.  Last time I cleared the printers I had 5 instances of the scanner to choose to add; none of them worked. I keep getting either "scanner not available" or "failed to open a scanning session" error messages.
    Any ideas on what to try next?

    Gerald
    Two further points to follow up:
    1 in addition to the Epson updates, you may also need to update the Smart Panel software - then try scanning into Epson Smart Panel rather than Image Capture
    2 Epson scanners can be fussy about how they are recognised - if you can't get the scanner to work properly, try disconnecting the scanner physically (= take out the USB cable) and then reinstall the software. Then reconnect the USB cable. I had to do this once when my 3170 just refused to be recognised properly.
