twain sane Mac os x 10.8.1, mountian lion

I was told by Adobe tech support to install sane since Acrobat x pro doesn't recognize my epson perfection 1670 scanner. I don't what to download or how to use/install it.

Please help me!

Twain Sane can be downloaded HERE. Others have recommended it as well and it is a viable option if your scanner is no longer supported under Mountain Lion.


It is a bit of work to install and configure, but the developer says a preference pane is available and makes it a bit easier. Check out the site for instructions on how to install and configure it.

In reality, only VueScan or a new scanner seem to be the only viable choices. Both cost money however.


The SANE option is not really an option for most users of OS X 01.8.x. All the installers have an InstallationCheck that will only allow the software to be installed on OS X 10.7.x. While it is possible to get around this stumbling block, only those that already know how to do should attempt it in my opinion.
