Just out of the blue an error message appears "Please install supported TWAIN driver". I've uninstalled and re-installed teh manaufacturers software and still the same problem. I've even contacted Epson and they claim that it is a problem with XP. Does anyone know what I can do. I've also dowloaded current patches and drivers for the scanner
 
The same thing happened to me .... had been using Epson Smart Panel for
months ... then for no reason the twain error message. I have tried
everything possible, and wrestled with this thing for over 2 months, with
both Epson and Microsoft support techs and their final response was to do a
repair install of XP. I've not had good experiences with that procedure
because it can cause problems with your other applications that are working
fine. So no solution yet .... but .... I can still scan something by using
the "scanners and camera" wizard in the control panel since it uses the
built in WIA drivers in XP. There's not as many features as Smart Panel,
however, and the scanner has to be compatible with WIA .Good luck!
