Work around for scanner on epson wp 4530 all in one device after Maverick update

Epson technical staff helped me find the solution to find the scnning function from my 4530 all in one device. Using "image cpature" command in "spotlight", find scanner in "shared" apps, then use the scanner function from there.

Before Maverick update, the scanner button light up in the 4530 device and I can scan from the window with the device. Now I have to work around to get the job done. Apple or Epson need to develop a new driver to recover this funtion.

There's no need to use Spotlight for Image Capture.

Launch Image Capture located in your Applications folder.

Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.

Click the very small black box bottom left side of the Image Capture window.

You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:

You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Import To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

If you need help with the Image Capture software, click Help from the Image Capture menu bar.
