Scanner And Image Capture Problem

Hello All,

I thought I would start a new thread since my first one was answered. The old thread is at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3777234?answerId=17757734022#17757734022

Well, I went a couple weeks ok with the Scanner and Image Capture. And then kaput, it doesn't work. I thought about it some and it seemed to stop working after I did Software Update on March 17th, 2012. In that update was a "Digital Camera Raw 3.1.0" update. Which makes me very suspicious.

Here is the error I get when I open Image Capture:

So, it recognizes the scanner but can't do anything in Image Capture or the with the scanner buttons.

I ran Software Update again, just to see if there was a new updated scanner driver but nothing came up.

Any ideas? I really want to avoid using the manufacturer's SW drivers etc.

Thanks in advance for the help!
