Make sure you have updated all of your scanner drivers. Check Software update and check with Epson tech support.


Not sure if the Gutenprint and Gimp-Print for Mac OS X (10.2 and later) drivers deal with scanners. Read the info on their website.




Check Apple's Knowledge Base for Snow Leopard & Lion Printer solutions and suggestionsfor scanner troubleshooting. Especially if you have an all in one.
