Existing users, 
Every couple of months, I check in to see if there is a new update for the Epson Perfection 1660 Photo that I bought last year. Nope. Nothing. Still doesn't support the features I want, or expected with this scanner.
This time I noticed that the Scan to File download is there. I installed it, and it can not see my scanner.
When I bought the scanner, I figured the lack of features in the drivers would be short-lived. Ha! Nothing out of Epson since last November.
I knew I should have bought that Canon scanner that I was eyeing at the time. I just replaced my Epson printer with a Canon, and can't believe the commitment that Canon has to MacOS X drivers and software.
Epson's lack of response makes it clear that not only do they not care about the MacOS X market, but they probably don't even have anyone reading this.

Scan to file isn't *supposed* to work - Stormchild
I wrote to Epson support about this, and they told me that the Epson Scan To File utility does not work in Mac OS X 10.2 or later. But it's not a problem -- they suggested to simply use Apple's Image Capture program (included with the OS), which can either scan to file or the clipboard using a simple interface, or the Epson TWAIN interface, which is exactly the same as what you get in Photoshop.Try Image Capture if you need to scan without opening Photoshop. Works great.
