Hello!
I thought I had posted this question but if so I can not find it.
I have an Epson V200 which I like a lot
Upon trying Epson's instructions to load the Epson software into my new 24" iMac running 12.4 Monterey I am having trouble. Basically for me at least their instructions just do not make since or work.
Do you folks have any suggestions regarding this?
TIA

Epson Easy Scan 2 is also worth trying. It works with Monterey
It's extremely unlikely that you're going to get that dinosaur to work in anything resembling a modern version of macOS.
The system requirements from epson's web site specify a Mac with a PowerPC G3 or better processor or an intel processor running OS X 10.2 or higher...
10.2 is now 20 years old... It's time to move on.
Many thanks for your attempt to help out!!!!!
The Epson folder comes up with as folder in Applications. Sadly for me windows come up but only recognizing a scanner model V39. No way does it give me any option to connect to my V200. Looks like I am up the creek. I would purchase a V39 Epson scanner but over the years I have not been impressed with their software. Thus I am a bit leery of buying that scanner. Even with the buggy software my old V200 worked great up until my new iMac and Monterey.
Today I contacted Epson Support as I could make no sense whatsoever following their very poorly (IMHO) online instructions.
The woman I spoke with went a bit fast ... .had to slow her down ... but ,,, she knew her stuff.
Bottom line the old Epson Perfection V-200 will work just fine with osx Monterey l2.4.
Below are the notes I tried to make during and after getting my scanner going:
Install Epson Driver Software From:
Epson Support phone number: 562-276-4382
> Download and install Driver software.
> Go to iMac Applications
> Look for Epson folder within Applications
> Open it
>. Go to search option at top of Applications window
> Type in: Image Capture
From this point on it is a bit fuzzy for me … but if I recall correctly the Image Capture icon will appear in the Dock on the iMac screen.
Hope this helps!
To be perfectly honest I would recommend that you download and test the free evaluation version of Vuescan (www.hamrick.com) and use that. If you like it then you can buy it, I think its about $35-40. I think you will be MUCH MUCH happier than if you continue on the course you are trying to stay on or using ImageCapture. While Image capture may work fine with your scanner, the UI is a little tough compared to Vuescan.
Best of luck!
Thanks mulberry58 .... will give it a go. Will let you know

Great, I'm sure you will like it and it also future proofs your scanner too.
Thanks again and love your icon!
