I installed a new Epson Perfection 2480 Photo scanner. It is recognized by
WinXP, and XP indicates that the scanner is ready for use. The scanner is
shown in both Scanners and Cameras, and in Devise Manager.

The Epson SmartPanel will open, to allow use of the scanner, copier, and
other functions, but when any function is selected a message appears asking
that the supported TWAIN driver be installed.

When accessed through the Control Panel, Scanners and Cameras, the scanner
will run, using the XP Wizard. The Epson Scan will not open at all.

I spent about an hour with Epson tech support and they seemed to be at a
loss to solve the problem. My suspicion is some sort of "TWAIN" issue in
XP. HELP !

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
 
Go to the Epson site and download the latest twain driver.

Well Don, the only thing that I would suggest...is to uninstall and
start over following the instructions that came with the scanner. I have
an older model Epson Perfection 610 which works fine with Win XP. There
is something about NOT plugging in until after installation of the
software but it has been so long that I have forgotten the instructions
and would have to search for them.

In any case, read the instructions very carefully.

Hope you get the beast tamed.

Thanks Doug, but I have been through all that with the techies from Epson
and they can't find the problem. I therefore am assuming that it is an XP
problem. The program has been uninstalled and reinstalled twice, following
the directions perfectly.

Hey Doug. I have an Epson Stylus CX3200, It's out of Black ink, but I just
need to scan, not print. I just want to scan a document and save it to fax it
later or transfr it to a CD. Any help in this matter would be greatly
appreciated in advance. Thanks JC
 
Epson Perfection 610 Driver for Vista?

I have a new system using Microsoft Vista Home Premium. I also have an old Epson Perfection 610 scanner that still works fine. Is there a Twain driver available that works with it? I can't find one at Epson's website.
