Using 10.8.5 Epson scanner won't scan transparencies.

Using a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.5 the original driver supplied by Epson for my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo will not work. The one recommended is Image Capture from Apple but this shows no option to scan transparencies. Anybody solved this problem? Thanks for any help.

Hi Maccyclist,
If you are having issues with your scanner, you may find the following article helpful. You may also want to make sure you are downloading and installing the most currently available driver and/or software from the Epson site, not the one that originally shipped with the device:

Epson Scanne stops during scan

Hi,
Im on an iMac 2GHz G5 with 1GB RAM running OS X 10.4.8 with an Epson Perfection 2580 Photo scanner attached via USB.
Up to a couple of weeks ago, the scanner was working fine with both Photoshop Elements 3 and also the Mac Image Capture program. But recently after providing a preview and then starting a scan, the scanner bar scans to the end of the document and then just stopps. It stays at the end of the scanner for about 10mins and then returns to the front, in which time Photoshop has crashed and you have walked away!
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the Epson Scan driver software from their website and currently have version 3.1.0 installed. Rebooting is the only way to access the scanner when it stops working and today I deceide to have a look at the system logs.
The main system log shows the scanner activation and then posts and entry:
"Feb 12 11:22:36 sue-craigies-imac-g5 crashdump[435]: EPSON Scanner crashed
Feb 12 11:22:37 sue-craigies-imac-g5 crashdump[435]: crash report written to: /Users/suecraigie/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/EPSON Scanner.crash.log"
(I can foreward the Crash log to an email address if needed)
At the end of the system log a particular entry is repeated about 15 times:
"Feb 12 11:25:10 sue-craigies-imac-g5 /Applications/Image Capture.app/Contents/MacOS/Image Capture: CGContextSetLineWidth: invalid line width: negative values are not allowed."
Does anyone know what is going on, or more importantly, how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance,
Daniel Craigie
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Daniel Craigie-
How full is the hard drive that you are trying to save to? Not that it should matter, but have you tried scanning another document?
Is the scanner plugged directly into the Mac? Try it that way.
Disconnect all peripherals except keyboard, monitor, mouse and scanner and see if the problem goes away.

Just upgraded to 10.9. was hoping it would fix the bugs in the last system. now my Epson scanner won't work. Downloaded their newest software. No go with the new OSX. Why would Apple roll out a new free upgrade that interferes with Epson?

Just downloaded OS 10.9. hoped it would fix bugs from the last version. now I can't use my Epson perfection 4870 scanner. Cehcked with Epson. They say the software is an Apple update. checked with Apple-No Go.
For now my Scanner just won't work. I'm surprised Apple would introduce new OS material -free- which compromises a good vendor like Epson.

nope, Barney.
My issue is a large amount of money spent over many years on computers for my company, myself, wife and sons. Got an investment here
The company I favor, Apple sent me a message that they have a wonderful new Maverick operating system.
I send documents back and forth to friends and people to do business. Hoped maverick would fix the bugs from Leopard.
With Maverick system, my main document sender, Epson perfection 4870 and its software doesn't work anymore, or so it seems to me.
Checked with Apple, very apologetic, they can't help, maybe it will be fixed in a couple of days...
Epson, referred me to Apple...
I still ccouldn't send documents.
Until my buddy Macjack pointed out the obvious- Image capture does the job. Thanks very much,MJ
I didn't know that- not in the Apple help area, can't find it in their manual, their help line couldn't give me a clue to something as obvious as this
So, lot of money over the years. Plenty of smart, well compensated folks writin code at both companies. I can't keep up with tit all, they don't keep up with each other.
Bottom line Apple releases a product that doesn't work well for a lot of little people like me. Maybe some clear expanation would help re:Macjack..
I certainly don't understand all the ins and outs of a zillion dollar computer behemoth business model. Do know this though, If I ran my business like this customers would go somewhere else and some would probably sue me.
Thank you

I updated my Mac to Maverick and now my Epson Scanner won't work

I updated my Mac with the new Maverick OS, now it wont recconize my Epson XP600 scanner. When I contacted Epson support they said that Apple is supposed to update the drivers. When I check Apple for updates they dont show any for Epson, deos anyone know how to solve this problem.
Ernie

There's a workaround... use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder for scanning.
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP Scanner won't Scan

Respected Sir
i have HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP All in One. its printer is working fine but scanner wont scan not from glass nor from ADF.
when i install on new pc its works but after some days its stops scanning and then never scan again until you reinstall oerating system
so kindly suggest ,,, i try many time by reinstalling drivers but scanner give error on scanning

Hello ITEngineer,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Regarding the LaserJet 1536 not being able to scan, I would like to try and help. When you try to scan what is the error? Also, what is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac?
Is the connection Ethernet or USB to this computer? If you are using a Windows Operating System try running the Print and Scan Dr. This could help identify the root cause of the issue.
Reply back with the results of the Print and Scan Dr please as well as the other questions and I will do my best to help.
Cheers,
JERENDS

Epson NX515 won't scan after installing Snow Leopard...

The subject says it all... After installing SL, I'm able to print wirelessly after downloading the latest drivers from Epson's site. But when I try to scan, my network can't be found. I get a "communication error" message. Anybody else having this problem or have a fix. I contacted Epson on Friday morning, but no reply yet.
Thanks,
Jim

Here is the link to the support article for Optical Drives;

You might try using a lens cleaner DVD. I have found that a gentle cleaning of the DVD/CD surface using distilled water can make a big difference. You might also try to install these disk in another drive, if available, to see if they are damaged.
Ciao.

Just installed mountain lion now my scanner won't work

Just installed mountain lion and now my epson scanner won't work! message says "power PCs are no longer supported-is there an app?

Bet you upgraded from Snow Leopard. The scanner software you have installed is likely PPC but could run in Snow Leopard, which was the last version of Mac OS X that supported it, rather than just Intel software.
I'd suggest going to the Epson website and getting Mountain Lion compatible drivers from their Drivers and Support page. They will be for Intel Macs such as yours.

Image Capture won't scan: Canon MP 610

Hello,
I experience a strange bug in Image Capture which I use together with my Canon MP610. When I put a document on the scanner Image Capture will show a preview and then scan the document. This works fine.
Sometimes I need to make some manual corrections by using the button "show details" and then resize the scan area after the program has analyzed the picture. After I made the corrections I hit the "Scan" button but Image Capture will return with the message "Scanner has reported an error" and "An error occurred during scanning".
I first thought it might be a driver related problem as I recently updated the drivers from the Canon site. Before I installed the Canon drivers and used the OSX drivers all worked fine.
So I removed all drivers from Canon and hoped the Mac would use the old drivers again. That didn't work either as the system couldn't seem to find any usable driver anymore. I reinstalled the Canon drivers and all works well again except for the Image Capture program.
As long as I don't use the "Show Details" button the scanner works just fine. But as soon as I make some manual corrections the scanner error message pops up and the scanner won't scan the adjusted preview.
So I know for sure the Mac sees the scanner and can control it as the scanner does deliver the images to the folder I specify, but I can't do any manual corrections.
I already deleted the file "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" but that didn't solve the problem. It appears to be a bug in the program itself or a conflict between the app and the drivers from Canon. How can I revert back to the drivers that my Mac used before I installed the Canon drivers?
Thanks!

Thanks PAHU that were a lot of drivers for sure in your link and I installed those. Unfortunately, nor the driver package nor the ICA driver did solve my problem. I'm beginning to think it might just be a bug within Image Capture, although Image Capture is stating the scanner is reporting an error. Strange thing is that Image Capture will work fine as long as I hide the details pane.
It seems to be an isolated problem too as I can't find any other subject on this on the net. I see more people having trouble to scan images with Image Capture but that's mostly related to not selecting the right part of the preview. I will see if I can reinstall Image Capture from the OSX dvd.

I upgraded to 10.8.4 and now it won't let me use my Epson scanner, saying "power pc applications are no longer supported." How do I make it work?

I upgraded to 10.8.4 and now I can' use my Epson scanner I get a message saying, "ou can't open the application Epson Scan apps because Power PC applications are no longer supported." I also can't synch my old Palm Pilot for the same reason.
How can I fix this?

We need to sort out some facts here first:
• You cannot be running Mt. Lion on your iMac G5. What Mac is it? What is the Model Identifier listed in About This Mac; More Info; Hardware Overview
• What is the model of your Epson Scanner?
• Have you attempted to scan using Image Capture, located in your Applications folder?
• Your Palm Pilot software will only run in Snow Leopard; so depending upon which Mac you have, you will either have to:
1) partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it to "dual-boot" when you want to access you Palm software, or
2) install Snow Leopard Server (now available from Apple for $20 telephone orders USA & Canda only) into Parallels 8 to run your Palm software in Mt. Lion:

Why won't my epson scanner work with Mountian Lion?

Since I loaded Mountain Lion, my Epson perfection 4490 Photo scanner won't load. It keeps saying "can't open application cuz PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I downloaded a new driver from Epson and did a software update and restarted my computer but it still won't connect to the scanner. What am I missing? Should I uninstall my epson scanner and then reinstall? Help!

Part 1 - the driver. If you already had an Epson driver & software installed before you upgraded to Mt. Lion, then yes you should uninstall the Epson software. Epson provides a utility to do this on their support website. After uninstalling the old driver & software, follow the Epson instructions for installing their ICA Scanner Driver, which basically involves connecting your 4490 to your Mac and then running Software Update. This driver needs to be installed for almost any scanning app to work with your 4490 on Mt. Lion, including Image Capture and Vuescan
Part 2 - the scanner software. Epson discontinued the Epson Scan Utility when Lion was introduced. It is only supported on versions of OS X up to Snow Leopard. If you want the functionality of Epson Scan on Lion or Mt. Lion then you need to get Vuescan, SilverFast or similar scanner software. I highly recommend Vuescan ... have used it for many years on almost every version of OS X and a bunch of different scanners including my own Epson Perfection 4490.

I have an Epson scanner that is apparently no longer supported because it is a PowerPC app. It's a very good scanner that worked fine until I upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions on how I can continue to use it?

For that model, Epson has this information:
ICA Scanner Driver
07/17/12
Description: The latest Mac OS X ICA scanner driver for your Epson product is available only via Apple's Software Update. Here's how to get it:
1. Connect the all-in-one or scanner to your Mac and power it on.
2. Select the  menu, then Software Update.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the available updates.
Note: Software Updates may find multiple updates for your system. You may choose to install all or some of the updates by clicking on Show Details.
Compatible Systems: Mac OS X (v10.8.x)

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

How can I use the Epson scanner Perfection V600 Photo in Photoshop cs5.1

How can I use the Epson scanner Perfection V600 Photo in Photoshop cs5.1

Wish to purchase v600 epson scanner have heard conflicting opions on how to install.. use software cd that comes with scanner or use outside software lie nuvue

wish to purchase v600 epson scanner for my mac.. have heard conflicting opinions on install.. use scanner's software cd or use outside software like nuvue ???

Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change.
I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
for her (using Linux) and...
got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot.
It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll.
ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
So what I am wondering now is:
Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
dll's path to the files it needs?
Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.
