Does an Epson Stylus Photo RX620 scan with Mountain Lion OS? I can print but I can not scan.

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion OS on my IMAC. I have an Epson Stylus Photo RX620 printer and I can print fine but I can not scan. Any tips?

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

I've gone through the update process and the driver Apple is providing for the scanning portion of the Epson RX620 is really a poor excuse for what used to be. Few options as to settings, no abiity to combine multiple pages into one document as far as I can tell, no documentation to explain anything. I am not happy about the possibility of having to invest in third-party scanner software, if that is the case. Any help appreciated!

I have the same question - my Epson RX580 shows up as a printer and I can print to it just fine, but I cannot scan. I don't see any scan utility. Epson website tells you to download Epson Scan from their main home page, but I cannot find Epson Scan on their website anywhere. I googled Epson Scan, download it from Macupdate.com but get an error message whenever it is launched. (I have not yet plugged the RX580 USB directly into my MBP, I was hoping to scan over the network!)

Since I last posted I began using Image Capture to download all photos from iOS devices, and discovered that Image Capture has a very good scan utility built into it. I also find it more satisfactory than iPhoto for downloading, as all items are easily visible from the desktop. iPhoto drives me nuts and I was looking for more control over my photos, so Image Capture has become a great substitute. If I want to import something to iPhoto, I can, but all my photos, in the meantime, aren't tied up in iPhoto. Anyway, give Image Capture a try for its scan utility. It's very versatile, almost as good as the original Epson software.
