Epson Perfection 2480 photo scanner

Just got a new iMac running Snow Leopard. I have a problem getting my scanner to work, Scanner is a Epson Perfection 2480 Photo. I have down loaded the latest driver from Epson. If I try to run the scanner from finder I get the following message.
The application “Epson Scan” could not be launched because of a sheared library error: “<EPSON Scan> < EPSON Scan> < TWAIN Source Manager.Shlb> ”
The scanner will not work in any applications giving error messages when trying to find it.
However in system Preferences you find the scanner in Printer & Fax and if you open it from there you can scan to the Desktop, Documents Folder etc.
Will scan from Image Capture
I have spoken to Epson and Apple
I think the problem must be the “shared library error” But having spent the best part of 2 days on the phone to various people I am no further forward.
Epson say is a Apple problem
Apple say is a Epson problem
Any help would be appreciated

I have looked at this again.If you go applications, epson scan, more info it shows application as powerPc version 2.73 try to run it from applications and you get sheared library error as detailed in previous post.
Go to joe, library. printers and there is a 2480/2580 scanner, more info on that shows application universal version 6.4 and allows you to select 32bit and to open using rosetta this will open and scan.
When you run from system preferences this is what is opening not the version 2.77 downloaded from epson. Is this where the shared library error is and if so how do I solve it, have tried deleting v2.77 but scanner still will not run in Word etc. tried deleting v6.4 still no go.
Also if you go Mac HD,library,image capture,twaine data sources the epson v2.77 appears and not v6.4 in there but in devices there is epson scanner app. version5.2.5. Getting nowhere fast

My Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Yosemite. The only scanner available is my Epson All-in-One.

I installed the new Yosemite operating system even though I was afraid something bad would happen. Well. it did. I can no longer scan photos using my photo scanner. I have updated all the drivers and it is still not working. I have an Epson Perfection V500 photo scanner, as well as an Epson WorkForce 845 all-in-one scanner, printer, copier. The 845 is on the network. The V500 is connected to my computer. For some reason, I keep getting the error that my V500 is not connected and when I try to add it, my mac does not find it. I know it is there. It was working before I upgraded. Help

You may have already done so, but if not...
Try a different USB cable.
Reboot your computer
Launch Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder) and Repair Disk Permission
in the left pane, click once on the name of your hard disk
in the right pane, click on the First Aid tab near the top
under the blank window, click the button "Repair Disk Permissions."
Afterward, click the "verify disk" button and it will check your hard disk.
Now, try your scanner...

OS 10.4.4 + Photoshop Elements 2.0 + Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner

i have an epson perfection 3200 photo scanner which had worked fine importing into photoshop elements 2.0 when i had an imac g3, but i cannot get it to work on my new machine, a powerbook g4 using 10.4.4. epson said it should work (i downloaded the most recent driver) but adobe said that 10.4.4 does not support photoshop elements 2.0 or 3.0. i downloaded 3.0 (they have a month trial) and it acknowledged my scanner for a second but then repeated the error message.
any thoughts?
thanks.
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

i have an epson perfection 3200 photo scanner which had worked fine importing into photoshop elements 2.0 when i had an imac g3, but i cannot get it to work on my new machine, a powerbook g4 using 10.4.4. epson said it should work (i downloaded the most recent driver) but adobe said that 10.4.4 does not support photoshop elements 2.0 or 3.0. i downloaded 3.0 (they have a month trial) and it acknowledged my scanner for a second but then repeated the error message.
Further to Barbara's suggestions, have you tried uninstalling your scanner and then disconnecting it physically from your PB. Then reinstall the scanner software and any updated drivers with the scanner still disconnected. Then reconnect the USB to the scanner and see whether you have better success. Epson scanners can be fussy (shy?) about being recognised, and I used these steps when I "lost" my Epson 3170 when moving to 10.3.x.
Barbara is absolutely right about PS Elements 2 and 10.4.4 - I'm also using it regularly with no problems. Since you got it to work with your previous computer and OS, you can also get it to work with your new PB and 10.4.4 - it just may need a little coaxing...

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.

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.

How to access my Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner?

How can I access my Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner after upgrading from PS CS4 to CS6?
There is no Photoshop File/Export/Epson scanner listed anymore. I downloaded a TWAIN plug-in and loaded it in the PS Plug-in folder, but that did not help.
What should I be doing?
Mac OSX 10.6.8.

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Did you try the driver from this Epson page: Epson Perfection 4490 Photo, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.

Epson Perfection V700 Photo Not Working

Since I successfully downloaded and installed Mavericks, I cannot use my Epson Perfection V700 Photo Scanner. I NEED this updated ASAP as I am in the middle of archiving and updating an online group. Epson do NOT have an upgrade, yet.
Does Apple have one yet?
Thank you,
Mark Patten

Hi All !
I installed the new drivers for my Epson Perfection V700 Photo. And it is working as supposed to !
Go on the Epson web site and download the drivers. Follow the simple instructions and be ready to drive your scanner as before !

Elements 13 does not recognise Epson Perfection 4990 photo scanner

I just installed Elements 13 (also have 11 and 12 installed). I have installed 13 as a 64 bit (windows 8), but cannot get it to recognize my Epson perfection 4990 photo scanner (or Perfect Effects 4, for that matter). Any ideas? I copied the PlugIN files from 12 to 13, but so far no dice.

Install Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner

My kernel is a custom built 2.6.3. I am trying to install an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo Scanner. It works under SuSE8.2 so there is no fundamental hardware problem. The sane website lists the 3200 as completely supported.
The system recognizes the scanner, as shown in part of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=04b8 ProdID=011c Rev= 1.02
S: Manufacturer=EPSON
S: Product=EPSON Scanner
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr= 2mA
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=(none)
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
The program sane-find-scanner produces:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x011c) at libusb:001:003
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
The program scanimage -L produces:
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).
The problem appears to be that the system cannot find a driver. Is the driver suppose to come from sane and there is a configuration issue? Is the system suppose to find the driver as a module or compiled-in the kernel? Is there some wild and wonderful dev - devsfs issue?
Any intel (small i) would be most appreciated.
Rick

the generic usb scanner module is no longer in the kernel. any scanner that used it mus use libusb now. to do this first remove any entry you have in any module loading files that load that module.
next add either one of these lines to your fstab:
none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs defaults 0 0
or
none /proc/bus/usb/ usbdevfs defaults 0 0
but going by your output so far you would seem to have one of these two lines in fstab.
anyway either one of those lines will give root only access to your scanner so you will need to give your user access to the device. your can do that in a few ways.
first you can create a group add your user to it then edit your usbfs line to read:
none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs rw,mode=666,gid=<--newgroupnamehere--> 0 0
or if you have a single user you can edit the line to read:
none /proc/bus/usb/ usbfs defaults,mode=666 0 0
if this does not work read up on hotplug or add this line to you rc.local:
chown -R <yourusername>.users /proc/bus/usb/xxx/*
where the "xxx" represents the three digit number directory in /proc/bus/usb/ that represents your scanner. you can find this by running scanimage -L as root and it will give you two three digit numbers in the output. then look in the number directory/directories for those two numbers and that will be the directory you put in for the xxx.

Photoshop Elements 11 does not recognize Epson Perfection 4990 Photo Scanner from "File"/"Import"

I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Elements 11 on a brand new iMac running OS X 10.8.2, but Elements 11 will not recognize my Epson Perfection 4990 PHOTO Scanner as an option to import from when I click on "File" then "Import." Is there a Plug-In that may be missing for this to operate as it used to in Elements 6 running on an older G5 Non-Intel processor? I don't have the new Elements 11 Disk to copy anything from, since I downloaded the program directly from Adobe.

EPSON Perfection 2480 suddenly stopped working in Snow Leopard 10.6.6

I never used the Epson software for my iMac. I would always scan from IMAGE CAPTURE or PREVIEW: IMPORT FROM SCANNER in OSX10.6.6.
I have followed discussion threads and downloaded the current driver from Epson. I have un and re plugged everything in and out, but I still get the same error message.
This scanner worked fine for close to a year; then it just started throwing out the error message.

Hi, ibob18052.
I've been using Epson scanners and the Epson Scan software since 2004 (I'm presently using an Epson Perfection 4990 Photo). I recently scanned several test documents using Apple's Image Capture, and I was disappointed to find that the quality of those scans is truly awful compared to what you get when using the Epson Scan software. I thought Image Capture would do a lot better than it did since Apple is supposed to be the leader in quality-imaging computer hardware.
Epson Scan may not be the most elegant software (it's pretty clunky at times), but it does wonders when scanning and restoring old photographs, negatives and slides.
Just be sure to switch the Epson Scan popup menu from "Auto" to "Professional" near the top of the scan window (don't let the word "Professional" fool you; it's not much worse than Image Capture's window). There may also be a triangle/arrow near the bottom of the Epson Scan window that you need to click to see even more options (I can't remember, and I'm not in a position to check right now).

I have a color management problem. I have OS X v 10.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. I want to print images I have scanned on a Epson Perfection 1660 Photo and corrected in Photoshop and get the colors accurate.

i have a color management problem. I have OS X v 10.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. I want to print images I have scanned on a Epson Perfection 1660 Photo and corrected in Photoshop and get the colors accurate.

I used the ColorSync utility to verify, and it came back with this report:
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter/PrintingModule/SPR800_Core.plugin/Contents /Resources/ICCProfiles/SPR800 Standard.icc
   Tag 'dmnd': Tag size is not correct.

I did not know what to do next. At the bottom of the window it said to go to www.apple.com/colorsync to find a tutorial. I got a message saying that link does not work. Tried to find the tutorial by searching at apple.com, but could not seem to locate it. Does anyone know what the report above means and what I should do about it?
Also, how to find that tutorial?
Re Using RGB all the way through, When I print from Photoshop Elements, I select Adobe RGB, Photoshop Manages under "Color Handling", Relative Colometric under "Intent" and "ColorSync" i the Epson printer box. Do you mean to do something different in this sequence?

OS X Mavericks, Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner

Installed OSX Mavericks on my 2010 iMac. My Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner was working fine but now is not. Clicked for Software Updates and none found. Any suggestions? Epson website say to to the iMac Software Update function but all updates installed already.

Same thing happened to me. If software update shows no updates, then you're set. I think Apple did away with the need for third party software and the Epson scanner driver. Now you open any scanner ready software package and go to the "Import from Scanner" (or "Import From Device...") option. Works in Preview. Works in Photoshop CC.
