using my epson cx6600 printer with my mac book pro?

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669?viewlocale=en_US, the driver for the cx6600 is part of the Epson 2.1 update. Update to 10.6.1, then download the 2.1 update and install.

Hope this helps.

I also can't get my CX6600 scanner to work. I've installed every driver I can find. It prints fine but when I launch Epson Scan I get the message "cannot properly communicate with the scanner". Apple's list of snow leopard drivers doesn't show "scan" for CX6600. Anyone get their CX6600 to scan under snow leopard (10.6.1)?

Remove your "Epson Scan" application, reboot the system, and scan from within Image Capture or Preview.

I'll try that. Epson sent me an email this morning about not being able to scan with the CX6600. They said "I'm sorry to hear about your driver issue. Currently we don't have any information regarding drivers for your scanner. There is no ETA as of yet. The printer driver has been provided by Apple via an OS bundled option. Please check back with us periodically for driver status. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Thank you again for contacting Epson. Eric S"

I have the same problem. Ever since upgrading to snow leopard my scanner on my cx6600 does not work anymore. Ive tried installing the drivers directly from epson. and doing everything i can think of but still no luck.

There is a CX6600 driver that is available via the Software Update. You should make sure to power off the CX6600 and uninstall any CX6600 driver you have installed. Then reboot your computer, power on the printer and it should detect the printer and set it up via the Software Update.
Hope that helps. Syd.

I am at a complete loss. I have spent 7 hours trying to get my CX6600 to scan. I have tried downloading and installing/uninstalling/reinstalling this:

As instructed by Epson online help.

I have installed Rosetta from the install disc, as instructed in order to run the Epson installer, and yet the Epson Scan app does not show up in my Applications menu. It does not show up using Spotlight Search. Yet the install was apparently 'successful'.

I have also installed http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900 but exactly what it did aside from use up another hour of battery time I do not know.

Can someone PLEASE write an idiots guide as to how I can scan some photos from my CX6600 onto this MacBook Pro?

I have removed the printer from Print and Fax preferences countless times which has done nothing. It re-adds itself automatically which makes me think there must be a way of uninstalling the driver so the MBP forgets it completely, however I can't find a sentence anywhere which can tell me how to do that.

This is my last hope, I'm trying to put some hard photos onto a memory card which will then go into a Digital Photo frame for my Mum's Christmas present, but typically, the Epson wont recognise the genuine SD card so I am now trying (and failing) to get the photos scanned onto here first.

Sorry for the rant but please help!

Unfortunately the CX6600 is doomed not to function as it should with Snow Leopard. I am looking it up for the last two days now and this is the conclusion that I have reached.

In this article concerning EPSON products and Snow Leopard ( http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ViewArticle.aspx?lng=en-GB&kbid=324694&data=nKG rQtfEm6noXtjkqySEOKDNd1ZUFHMLlJp7NTGELU002FAU003D ), EPSON states that for Snow Leopard one should use the drivers installed in the system (meaning from the Install DVD of Snow Leopard and then from the update you mentioned above).

But, if you search for CX6600 in that page, you will see that only printing is supported and not scanning.

I am trying to find a solution as well, but I think that there won't be any.
