Feb 9, 2014 10:49 AM in response to jorgeblasioby Dee33k,Can anyone explain why my Epson Stylus Photo RX620 worked fine (scanner included) with the Apple update, UNTIL Feb 2nd when I tried it again, AFTER the Feb 1st update to IPhoto?
Now, I cannot get the scanner to work, nor the Image Capture.
In the middle of a big project and not fun.

Mar 5, 2014 9:46 AM in response to torrealtaby yellow21,I was also able to use my scanner via Image Capture but I cannot print the scanned item. I can't save the scanned item either. All I can do is scan it.
I'm using the same Epson flat beed scanner that I've had for some time. It worked fine until I installed Mavericks.

Jun 26, 2014 5:48 AM in response to jorgeblasioby Bob Dewar,Jan Egil at http://janegil.net/2014/01/twain-scanners-in-os-x-maverick/ has provided a package to install the OS X 10.8 System application TwainBridge.app v. 8.0, © 2000-2011 Apple Inc. in the folder /System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/ .
Installing TwainBridge.app, and “TWAIN SANE Interface for MacOS X” by Mattias Ellert http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/, I was able to use my CanoScan LiDE 20 scanner under Mavericks in all image capture applications. So I suggest this might also solve some of the problems reported in this discussion thread.
I also suggest Apple should resume providing TwainBridge.app in further updates of Mavericks and later systems. (I just updated to OS X 10.9.3 and TwainBridge.app disappeared, so I had to reinstall it to be able to see my scanner again.)

Jun 26, 2014 5:12 PM in response to Bob Dewarby Bob Dewar,PS: It's unfortunate that Canon has clearly made a commercial decision not to update 32bit drivers for 64bit-only operating systems like Mac OS X 10.n (n > 6) and Windows 7. This is presumably designed to force people to buy new scanners even if their old ones are still working fine.
PPS: SANE doesn’t support all old scanners, unfortunately. To get my CanoScan 5000F to work I had to install a “virtual machine” running OS X 10.6 (using Oracle’s free VirtualBox, plus I had to install “VirtualBox 4.3.12 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack” in VirtualBox and turn on USB 2 support to stop the Virtual Machine crashing as soon as ToolBox started communicating with the 5000F). This may seem like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but it has the added virtue that I can use my old PowerPC apps without having to reboot into Snow Leopard (-:
