Yosemite does not recognize scanner

I have a MacBook Pro 6,2 (2.4 Ghz i5 and 8 Gb RAM) and I have just installed Yosemite 10.10.2. I am testing it carefully to make sure all of the applications that I need are properly supported. Yosemite does not see either of my scanners. I have 2 scanners; an Epson Perfection V600 Photo and an older HP Scanjet 5590. System Preferences does not see either scanner and I cannot, therefore, add them. I have downloaded and installed the latest driver and software from Epson. To test the scanners, I connect them directly to the MacBook Pro via USB. Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 does see the Epson scanner in the "select device" dialog that follows "Create PDF->From Scanner->Select Device" dialogs, but then returns an error stating is cannot communicate with the device. Acrobat Pro 9 does not see the HP at all. Image Capture does not see either scanner. Both printers (HP LaserJet 2035 and HP OfficeJet 8100) are visible and work properly, connected through my home network (Mac Pro wired, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air wireless), both are connected via USB
My intention is make sure all of my existing hardware and software works as it should in Yosemite before I upgrade my Mac Pro desktop (still on 10.8.5 Mountain Lion). I cannot risk killing the whole thing. And I am not a Macintosh neophyte; I still have my old Mac Plus in a box in the garage and I have relied on Macintosh since 1986.
Is there some installation or configuration detail that I am missing?

No.
If I had an answer for you, I would have suggested one. I'm interested too, so I subscribed to this thread.
Having nothing particularly useful to contribute, did you try resetting the printing system?

Are others having the same problems?

Try this. Worked for me.
- turn off your router
- turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
- turn off all iDevices
- do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
- turn on your router first
- ran the network set up wizard
- give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
Something which you don't have used before.
- turn on your Mac's and add your printer
- turn on your iDevices at least.
Should work after these steps.
It worked for me including all iDevices.

PSE Elements 9 Editor does not recognize scanner

Mac OS 10.7 Lion. Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor does not recognize my scanner (Epson 3170 Photo) even though scanner shows up in Preferences Print & Fax. Awkward workaround is to scan to desktop and open scan in PSE9.

Over in Windows, applications link to a scanner via TWAIN software, which is not included with Windows 7 - so the solution is to manually download the twain driver and install it
How do applications link to a scanner using a Mac, and does your OS include that driver?

Canon quick menu software does not recognize scanner for MG5520

Hi,
I have Canon Wireless Inkjet Photo All-In-One printer (MG5520). I have installed Canon complete software. But the quick menu does not recognize my scanner. In Preferences only Printer is listed, but for Scanner nothing is available. Could you please suggest how to get scanner as well for my device?
My OS is Windows 7.
Regards,
Sharath.

Hi sharma_swp,
Reinstalling the drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website should provide the scanning option on the Quick Menu. Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MG5520. Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED DOWNLOADS" section and click the FULL DRIVER AND SOFTWARE PACKAGE file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once the file has been downloaded, please double-click on it to reinstall the drivers and software on your computer, then restart your computer. If you still have difficulty with the Quick Menu showing items related to scanning, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Mac Os 10.10.2 does not recognize scanner

With this version update Elements 12 does not show any import options and does not recognize the TWAIN plug-in.

Let's try to deal with the sharing issue first. Your new problem is very common under Snow. However, it turns up with different timing in an idiosyncratic way.
At first, my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

Yosemite does not recognize Dell S2340L monitor

Image Capture does not recognize scanner with latest update of Mavericks 10.9.4

Since last week (8-5-14) after updating to OS 10.9.4 (13E28) Image Capture and Printers and Scanner (in System Prefs.) do not recognize my scanner. What the hay! Yes, my scanner is elderly but like me is in perfect working condition. Until now. I've spent hours trouble shooting, i. e., downloading EPSONPrintDriver2.18.dmg and reinstalling, a waste of time. Changing usb/firewire cables, switching usb ports, deleting pref files and cussing. The Epson web site was useless it just tells me to download updates via Apple software updates. I hate the idea of being so dammed dependant on any one organization (Apple). I've been an Apple user since the Apple 2C but I do believe that will change soon.
Anyone with a solution or replacement app for Image Capture? I don't want to spend my Social Security money on VueScan which dose work for me unless I have to.

Try resetting the printing system. It can also affect the scanner.

Yosemite does not recognize external displays...

I will bring this up again since I know a lot of people are having this issue, myself included, and the previous forum indicated that the problem was not solved although it as marked as unsolved
Can anybody offer some help? Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro (15'' 2013) won't connect to any external monitor, projector, etc. Not OK. IF you haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, DO NOT UPGRADE!!!!!

Hi SS7886247,
I see that you are having issues with your external display since the update to Yosemite. I would like to suggest that you perform a PRAM reset to see if this troubleshooting step affects the issue:

My Macbook Pro (OSX Yosemite) does not recognize my Rocketfish music receiver via Bluetooth.

I bought a Rocketfish music receiver in order to stream music on my MacBook Pro using Yosemite to my stereo receiver. I cannot get my laptop to recognize/connect to the Rocketfish or my iPhone 5 even though the iPhone 5 connects to the receiver.

OSX Yosemite does not recognize superdrives.

Performed a clean install of Yosemite on my Mac Pro (Early 2009), I had previous been running Yosemite from an upgrade. Performance was slow and after one root, it no longer booted, i.e. errors on boot drive. I restarted with the Recovery Partition and performed a clean install. Now, performance is good, both internal Harddrives are working well, however; my internal Superdrives are not showing up recognized.
System Report show this for my internal superdrives.
Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions of where to start on troubleshooting this?

Back up your Mac, if you have not done so already. To learn how to use Time Machine to back up your Mac read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
... errors on boot drive.
Those errors are likely to occur again, and when they do you may not have another opportunity to back up.

Mountian Lion does not recognize Yosemite in Start up disk

Greetings All,
I recently installed Yosemite on the partition of my HD (1TB) I ran Mavericks on.
On another partition of the same HD I run Mountian Lion (I use Pro Tools 9.06 on it).
When working within Mountain Lion, I used to switch to Mavericks (and vice versa) via System Preferences / Start up disk. Now Mountain Lion apparently does not recognize Yosemite as a bootable disk: in System Preferences / Start up disk Yosemite does not appear (as Mavericks used to do).
Does anyone know what's the cause of Yosemite not being available as Start up disk in System Preferences in Mountain Lion?
Kind regards,
Gerrit

I'm adding a screenshot here, maybe you'll be able to make out what what is by the way subjects are ordered in it?...
Your hard disk drive is shown divided up into three partitions: Mountain Lion, Yosemite, and the Data partition, all of which are indented in the list on the left in Disk Utility. The "media" on which the partitions exist (your Western Digital hard drive device, which is not indented), is shown in the traditional configuration we've known for years (so I apologize for introducing "Logical Volume Groups" to the discussion). It's been my experience that sometimes, installation of Yosemite will take the partition arrangement you have and convert it into a Logical Volume Group which becomes much more difficult to work with, and much, much more difficult to explain.
