Epson TWAIN & Scan Utility Intel - 2.77A

It has been a *censored* to get this Perfection 2450 running after installing OS 10.5 on my iMac intel but, with the factory;s help, it works fine now.

They sent the following work around.

To get the Epson Scan scanner driver running on the Intel Core Duo mac, a
complete cleanout and reinstall may be required.

In this case we would recommend using the following steps to get a full
cleanout of all hidden files from earlier Epson Scan version(s) and a fresh
install:

UNINSTALL

Note: the files found will vary by OS and driver version. Not all files and
locations will be present. If one file cannot be found, just skip to the
next item. If an EPSON SCAN or EPSON SCANNER named file is found in an
adjacent location, you can trash it. Do not remove any other EPSON files.

1. Go into HD, APPLICATIONS, UTILITIES and open ACTIVITY MONITOR. Highlight
the EPSON SCANNER MONITOR process and click STOP or QUIT PROCESS to FORCE
QUIT the process. Close ACTIVITY MONITOR.

In HD, APPLICATIONS - move EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNER MONITOR to the
trash.

2a. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT, EPSON - remove EPSON SCAN, if
present. Also check the contents of the Epson folder. Remove only files
inside it that are related to the scanner, for example EPSON USB SCANNER or
EPSON FW SCANNER BUNDLE.
2b. Check in HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT. There may be other Epson
files. Any files to do with the Epson scanner name or Epson Scan you can
remove from here.

3. In HD, LIBRARY, APPLICATION SUPPORT, TWAIN*, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove
EPSON SCAN, if present, and any files bearing your scanner's name. (*The
Twain folder may not be present on all OS 10.4 Macs.)

4a. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, TWAIN DATA SOURCES - remove any Epson
scanner-named ".ds" files, for example the bearing your scanner's name,
EPSON STYLUS or PERFECTION #### X.ds
4b. In HD, LIBRARY, IMAGE CAPTURE, DEVICES, remove EPSON SCANNER.DS, if
present
(This is a generic resident scanner driver. Once the Epson scanner software
is working properly it will not be needed, so it can be deleted.)

5. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES - remove EPSON
(scanner name ####) PREFS, if present

6. In HD, USERS, (YOUR USER NAME), LIBRARY, PREFERENCES, EPSON - remove
EPSON SCAN and EPSON SCANNERMONITOR PREFS, if present

Once the above files have been moved to the trash, you do not need to empty
the trash. Simply restart your Mac. You are ready to reinstall.
