Is the scanner connected to your comp wireless or USB? Some scanners work best when connected directly to the computer and/or via USB.

Sometimes, installing the GIMP drivers help with printing/scanning issues: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Their response when you advise them that your OS is already updated? 😕


You really need to deal w/them. If their support is unsatisfactory, you need to find a manufacturer that is Mac friendly. Take your $$$$ elsewhere.

Both HP & Epson are Mac friendly. Both have Mac sections in their user manuals and/or on their customer support websites. My experience is w/Epson. They have a toll free number for tech support if you cannot find answers in their user manual or on their website. They also respond to emails.


Judging by the HP postings here, their tech support is pretty good.
