Re: Windows Unable To Recognize Scanner Driver

Thanks JS, but I've tried that until I'm blue in the face... to no avail.
In fact I just tried it now, one more time... at your suggestion.

Device Manager says the scanner is installed and is working properly. It
says the driver is
(Twain) is there. And the entire uninstall and re-install of Epson's Smart
Panel software went ahead smoothly. But again.... Smart Panel can't seem to
find the Twain driver.

This is a mystery to me, since it all worked well in the past. The
operating system was freshly installed a little over a month ago, and the
scanner has worked since then. When I disconnect the scanner, windows
detects that it has been removed, and windows also detects when I reconnect
the scanner.

Any further suggestions would be welcome.

Try disconnecting the scanner, then uninstall the scanner software & twain
drivers.
After the install shut the PC down, then connect the scanner and reboot.

Hello,

For some reason my scanner won't work anymore. When I try to use it, I
get the following message:

"C:\Program Files\EPSON\Smart Panel\File.exe\:"/T:EPSON TWAIN 5"
Application can't be found."

When I check Device Manager, it shows the correct scanner and indicates
that the driver is in place.
When I remove and re-install the Twain driver, the message I get in the
notification area is that new hardware has
been found and that it is ready to use. I haven't moved any files from
where they were installed by the installation software for Smart Panel,
nor by the Twain installer.

I'd sure appreciate any advice as to what could be the problem.

Thanks in advance,
Danno
