Wireless photo scanner... does a beast exist???

just bought an all-in-one wireless printer/scanner/copier. question is... can you scan wirelessly? thanks!

Hi
It would depend on the model of printer/scanner you have purchased...
That said, I have a Canon MP600R which can both scan and print wirelessly, so it's possible! Scanning is rather quicker through a direct USB connection.

Does anyone know of a good A3 photo scanner compatable with OS 10.8 mountain lion? I need it to scan watercolour artwork. I was interested in Microtek scanmaker 9800XL and also Epson Expression 10000 but neither are compatible. Thanks :-)

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.

Epson V500 Photo scanner wireless connection

I would like to make a wireless connection to my Epson V500 (Photo) scanner to my MacBook Pro running Mavericks. It is unclear if this is possible from the Epson side and on the MacBook Pro side the Scanner doesn't show up under Preferences>Sharing or Preferences>Printers & Scanners BUT I can scan from the laptop if connected by USB cable.
Questions:
A. Can the Epson V500 (Photo) be accessed wirelessly?
B. If yes to above, how do I set this up on the MacBook?
Thank you

Hello,
I have a MacPro 1,1 running Lion 10.7.2. Everything seems to be up to date via software update. I have an Epson V500 Photo scanner (USB), and the system recognizes that...
I ran into a similar problem (loss of functionality) with an Epson 7600. I traced my problem to letting software update substitute its Epson drivers for what Epson had originally provided for the printer. It got worse when installing Lion. Fortunately, I expected that problem so I applied the updates to clones of the working installation, using both more recent Epson software for their long-abandoned printer and what came down with software update. Testing the clones showed me that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" so I stayed with the old installation, updating only the system software to 10.6.8.
You may face a further issue in that the working Epson software may have been at least partially written in code meant to run on a PPC Mac, not Intel, and Apple removed all support for that when moving from 10.6 to 10.7. That may be why Epson shows printer driver support only through 10.6 on its website.
One of the beauties of the Mac Pro is that you can have multiple HD drives with multiple partitions so there's plenty of room to do tests like that. But it really shouldn't be necessary...

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.

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.

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...

IPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution

Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

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...

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.

Understand the basics of wireless photo printing

I've really found the reasons to use wireless printing, at least in the home. I have teenage kids and I've put laptops in their rooms. However, we only need one printer in the home so I've hooked up all the laptops with wireless access to the printer. The printer happens to sit by me in my home office, so it is always nice when I hear the printer start running and the nightly homework assignment comes out.
Wireless photo printing is the ultimate in freedom and flexibility. You can print without the clutter of wires and save money by sharing printers within your household. Explore all the benefits and potential that wireless has to offer.
Mobility - Enjoy the freedom to easily print photos, and whatever else you want, from virtually anywhere in your home. For example, you can print pictures from the den, the kitchen counter, or the kids' room.
No wires - Enjoy clutter-free photo printing with no cords and tangled wires taking up desk space and tethering you to one location.
Shared printing - Save money by sharing one printer between multiple Wi-Fi-enabled PCs or notebooks in your home, rather than having a printer for each computer.
1-2-3 Setup: HP has one of the easiest wireless setups around. Learn more about this simple way to set up your wireless HP Photosmart printer.
Touchscreens: HP Photosmart printers come with an interactive touchscreen that makes wireless setup easier.
In-printer Wireless Setup Wizard: Wireless Setup Wizard software automatically finds your network settings and connects your photo printer to the network.
Wireless combos: Some HP Notebooks and printers now feature wireless capabilities such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, combined into one product.
Print from an iPhone: Wirelessly print photos from your iPhone or iPod touch with the HP iPrint Photo application.
HP has a wide range of wireless printers that are either Bluetooth- enabled, Wi-Fi-enabled, or both.
Some printers, like the HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier, have Bluetooth wireless capabilities.
Other printers, like the HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Copier are Wi-Fi 802.11-enabled.
And then there are products like the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Fax, Copier which features both wireless technologies.
Of course, all HP wireless printers also allow you to share and print photos from your networked computers using wired methods such as built-in Ethernet connectivity and USB ports.

See a great post? Give it a Kudos!

I assume you have a wireless router. Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
It sounds like there was a direct connection between the printer and computer (using the network 'hpsetup'?).
You should be able to connect your printer to your wireless router (if you have one). Please advise and I can help.

Best photo scanner/printers and camcorders for MacBooks using iPhoto and iMovie

I have been trying to scan slides, first to my husband's MacBook (running 10.6.8 - our older laptop) and also to my MacBook (running 10.8.2). Before upgrading to the newer OSs, I did this successfully a number of years ago. I have been using my Epson Photo Stylus RX600 with it's slide template, but it scans the slides as they look in the template, not as actual photos. I've tried searching for solutions and have read the manual carefully, but the screens I should be seeing on my MacBook are not coming up as they used to. I fear the scanner/printer is just not compatible with the OS systems beyond Tiger. If you have had similar problems, do you have a solution. If this really is an incompatibility issue, what photo scanner/printers would you recommend? I have over 5000 slides to digitalize. I am also wanting to get a camcorder with the following features: HD (1080i), 10 X zoom or greater, low light performance, manual exposure and focus controls, an articulating LCD screen, HDMI port, USB, and perhaps a built-in hd but SD memory too -- for under $1000. Any recommendations?

Epson does have updates for the RX600 to run under OS X 10.7, and possible OS X 10.8. To download, you need to attach the RX600 to your MacBook, turn it on, make sure the system sees it (print a page), then run Software Update.
If that doesn't work, and you need a new all-in-one, I've had good success with Canon products for many years. They have solid operating system drivers, and a good selection of models with individual ink tanks, so I can replace a color that's empty and not throw out a 3-in-1 ink tank when one color is out.
On the camcorder, you might want to ask the question in the iMovie or Final Cut discussions.

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.

Kodak EX1011 Wireless photo frame

Hi All
Anyone know if it is possible to get the Kodak Wireless photo frames to see a shared photos from iPhoto?
The frame see the network, and the Windows machines, but I cant get it to see the photos on the Mac iPhoto shared library.
I have the Kodak Mac Easy Share software set to share and also the iPhoto set to share, but they are not appearing on the Kodak frame.
I cant see anything under Sys Preferences/Security/Firewall and File Sharing. is ON to allow acccess to other Computers/NAS storage etc.
Cant find anything on the Kodak site apart from the Easy hare software.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Neil

Terry,
I am not sure if it does what you are asking or not.
On a Windows machine it looks for the shared files from Windows Media Player 11, so it is looking for a library based set of files rather than folder based.
I have installed Kodak Easy Share software for Mac, which has its own library and under its preferences, Sharing is setup, but it does not appear on the Kodak frame.
This is probably more of a network, Firewall issue, rather than specifically iPhoto sharing, but I asked here in brief to see if maybe anyone else had been able to share to the Kodak frames from iPhoto.
Will try and find a Kodak forum...but today I am changing the cam belt on a Mitsubshi...
