[G4] Epson Scanner Driver Reprise - Actual Error Msg

[Roger Harris]

John, I would have agreed with you last year until I found out it was 
Apple that was at fault. I have Epson, Microteck, UMAX, HP and Canon 
scanners to support and non of them had OSX covered.

Apple did not have Twain and other things ready in OSX. If you think 
Epson's software is crap try the others. Epson just released OSX 
software for a lot of their scanners and printers; It is very good 
software with plenty of features.

Apple has hung us out to dry on printing and scanning in OSX. This is 
why most graphic shops have not switched to X, Quark worked in Classic 
but Printing and scanning were screwed. It is only now that Apple is 
providing the means for developers to write some of this software. OSX 
still does not have native support for paper sizes (as I understand it).

People not getting good scanner support for their scanners in OSX, can 
Buy VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com/). It cost $60. It is much much 
cheaper than Silverfast and I only have one complaint. If you are 
scanning Very large very high resolution files it is slow.
