So I uninstalled vuescan and am attempting to use the Epson drivers. No matter which version I use (EU, US, vista32, vista64, win7-64, win7-32) it always installs driver ver. 3.0.4.0 and Epson Scan will not start.

It is Epson Copy Utility version 3.50.00, dated Dec 8, 2008. It is on the same page as the 3.0u driver. So now I and perhaps others are set. I wonder whether Epson is aware of all this.

I have decided not to use the smart scan software - I did not feel it added much and am also surprised the ABBYT Fine Reader 5.0 works ok for character recognition. I don't have much need for it but it it sometimes useful. I suppose you or others have tested the German forms of the copy utility or smart scan and assuming they exist, don't resolve the copy utility issue. I expect to find some freeware that will do the job or can easily manage as is. Greatly appreciate your quick responses over the past days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10032244.post-34821617043819993372009-12-02T18:24:03.997+01:002009-12-02T18:24:03.997+01:00@Anonymous: Hello again,

I am not entirely clear on the right procedure to follow. I have downloaded the german driver file as mentioned, and also note that epson has a 64 bit Easy Print software ver 3.1 that is supposed to work with win 7. do i use the original cd wiht software at all? do i use the vista 32 bit driver which epson's win 7 support page suggests even after selecting 64 bit win 7 version.

Today I stumble upon this article and it works like a charm (note: link seems outdated, but the drivers are available from the 32bit Vista section). No idea what the heck is wrong with the folks at Epson. Thanks a billion times man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
