USB A/B cable adaptor for iMAC

I don't think there is such a thing as a USB A/B port. USB A is a connector type and so is USB B. If you can plug in both ends of the cable to the respective devices USB A to iMac and USB B to your scanner then you good to go connection wise. With the scanner connected and turned on go to the apple menu and select about this mac. Next click on the System report button. In the hardware section find USB (at the bottom of hardware). Click on USB and it will show you what is connected to your USB ports. Do you see your Epson scanner? If so there is nothing wrong with the cable you purchased.

What you probably need is a scanner driver or updated scanner software from Epson. There is a 3rd Party application called Vuescan that works on lots of scanners. There is a trial version that will put a watermark on all scans until you purchase the software. Try it out and if you can get your scanner to work buy it.

I hope this helps.

Pm53, stay healthy and safe yourself. Try out vuescan see if you can get it to work. I've used the program previously. I currently don't have a scanner.

Yes, there is. Probably almost any USB A to USB B adapter will work. This should be what you are looking for.

I hope this helps.
