Using Epson Perfection 1670 scanner with Macbook

Can anyone point me to a work around for using my Epson Perfection 1670 scanner with my new Macbook? Drivers for the Mac OS do not appear to be available at the Epson website. Thanks much!

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Macbook Pro 15 Inch 2.53 GHz 4GB ram

Thanks for the tips. Neither one worked unfortunately. Both result in blank scans.

I also did both of those things, plus the Snow Leopard Combo update, all to no avail. I also did an uninstall/reinstall per the Epson support website. I get nice blank scans using Image Capture, Epson Scan v2.77a, and even tried VueScan. I have sent a support request to Epson and will report back with results.

Thanks again for the help. I contacted Epson support and they directed me to download the same drivers that Apple Support had suggested. For some reason, the new drivers worked, even though I was really just retracing my steps and re-trying a previously attempted solution. The bottom line is, however, that I can scan photos successfully using the MacBook Pro and the Epson Perfection 1670.
Thanks much!
