The epson driver in the latest apple update is version 5.2.5 (Copyright 2003 ?) while the latest driver on the epson site (for image capture) is 5.3. Its odd that the drivers and image capture can run the scanner but cannot send an image to the computer. ![]() I conclude there is some basic software incompatibility between the drivers and os x 10.6.4. I have tried to get epson's scanning utility to work under 10.6.4 by reinstalling it I can get it to startup and run the scanner but it too produces a blank white image! I thought the scanner may have finally broken so i tested it on another (old) iMac G3 running os x 10.4.11 and epson's scanning utility it worked fine and made a nice scan. I have tried using the scanner and image capture on two other mac's (macBook pro, macBook) both running 10.6.4 and both of these produce the same white page (although they do recognize the scanner). ![]() The frustrating thing is that the image generated is completely blank a white page. ![]() I can get image capture to recognize the scanner and perform preview and full scans. I have downloaded/installed the updated drivers twice (once via software update and once manually from apple support). ![]() Since epson no longer specifically supports this model I am going to Image Capture and the epson drivers supplied by Apple. I've been trying to make an epson perfection 1670 scanner work on an iMac running 10.6.4
