Hi Ron ..


There is a v10 Yosemite driver avaiable for download for your Epson Workforce 630 >  http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=152505&infoType=Dow nloads

 


If that doesn't work for you, there is an alternative.


Try using the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder.

    i have a Workforce 7520 that would only scan a few times using wifi. then it would stop working and i would get a communication error.

     

    the solution is to update the driver in Yosemite thru the App Store, BUT to do this, you must:

     

    CONNECT the Workforce to the ethernet network (or USB if that is your only option - you will have to connect each Mac you wish to use.)

    go to the App Store and check for updates. the epson update will appear as a subset update under "software updates". it will not appear as a standalone update.

     

    each Mac will have to run the update separately. it is a system update, not firmware on the Workforce.

     

    we have been scanning fine for the past 2 days.

    Hi I have just bought a new iMac with Yosemite installed. I have an HP LaserJet Pro 500 color MFP M570dw and managed to load the driver and connect to the network folder through the HP utility using the network path \\192.168.1.41\scan. The only issue I have now is that unless I am using the document feeder to load more than one page, I have to select to scan each item one by one. Previously I used to use windows via Parallels and this allowed more than one document to be scanned consecutively. I hope this helps as a temporary fix until multiple documents can be scanned from the flatbed with one set up?
