M1 Mac Mini and Epson 2450 scanner communication problem My setup: M1 Mac Mini running on Ventura 13.6.3 and an Epson Perfection 2450 scanner. I recently moved and when I hooked up my computer setup, I haven’t been able to make scans using the Image Capture software. The scanner was working fine before my move. I’ve tried all the usual remedies as follows: 1) Restart computer and scanner 2) Unplug and re-plug the scanner 3) Confirmed USB connection 4) Updated the driver: ICA Scanner Driver v5.8.23 for Apple's Image Capture utility. 5) Deleted the scanner from “System Settings,” and then re-added When I open the scanner using Image Capture or through “System Settings,” everything seems to be initially working, I hear the usual clicking and motion sounds and a message saying “scanner is warming up.” Then after a somewhat long time I get this message: “Overview scan timed out.” This is sometimes followed by this popup message: “Scanner reported an error.” I’ve attached screen shot images of what I’m seeing. I’m guessing it’s some type of communication error. I hope someone can help me and offer a solution. I realize I may have to break down and purchase the VueScan software, but I’d really prefer not to pay for another yearly software subscription. All help, insights and advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanking in advance, David [Edited by Moderator]

Scanner: Failed to open a connection to the device (-21345) iMac + Epson Scanner Using Sonoma on my iMac. My particular scanner is an Epson Perfection V500 Photo. Not a printer/scanner combo. I've tried both Image Capture and Vuescan. The latter has had me downloading the latest of its software and also offers a download link to the latest driver from Epson. Then it still doesn't work. I'm so up to date it's crazy. So what's wrong? On rare occasions I can access the scanner after a restart for a few times and then it's back to square one for no apparent reason. Connecting is a fluke it seems. I've removed the scanner in system settings, and then re-added it and tried to open it from there. I've unplugged it, turned it off and on and everything I can think of short of a voodoo dance shaking bones and feathers over it.
