Re: Following Clean Install Epson Problems

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Cari, yes, and furthermore, I had a technician on the telephone yesterday who
telephoned me from Epson. She has the same setup at home that I have -
Windows XP, a scanner and an All-in-one all working together. That is the
setup I had since 2004 under XP - a scanner and another imaging device.
Originally, with the scanner, I had a stand-alone HP printer until 2006.
Then I had a Brother All-in-one until a few months ago. The Brother unit
caused software conflicts with both MS and Corel. With the lack of customer
support, I decided to recycle the Brother unit. It wasn't until then that
Brother offered to help work-around the problem. However, I already had the
Epson NX300 working and had no room for another All-in-one. So, up until a
clean install of Windows about a month ago, without fully reinstalling all
the applications I had beforehand, I did not have a problem with the Epson
All-in-one, or any other brand of printer, working with the Perfection 1670
scanner.

I think you've got a Twain vs WIA problem. Do the scanners work if you scan
into an application.... something like Adobe Acrobat or Photoshop? Even
Paint?

Is the WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) Service Enabled or Disabled in
Control Panel, Admin Tools, Services?

Incidentally, it is the scan function on both units that works. The copy
function on the Perfection 1670 does not.

Thank you, but your response is strange because, prior to the clean
install
almost four weeks ago, I had both running. Epson scan gave me a choice
of
which scanner to use for a particular job. I cannot believe your
message.

XP cannot support more than one single scanner. You appear to have
installed TWO.... one standalone and one with the All in One printer.

Uninstall one of them.

At this time, I successfully installed IE7 and posted a follow-up
message
there. I then decided to try to uninstall and reinstall my 1670
Perfection
Scanner and NX300 All-in-one, both Epson. The scanner software still
does
not recognize the printer. Both have the original drivers installed
that
came with the units. Does anyone know of a solution?

In case, as I suspect, the Epson Smart Panel drive interferes with
the
IE7
installation, does anyone know a way to remove it? Confrol Panel,
Add/Remove
Programs does not permit it.

In favor of attempting an update to IE7, I decided to uninstall
the
drivers
to the Perfection 1670. Their driver support, New Soft, stated
that
they do
not have a driver which will recognize my printer, the Epson
NX300.

I run XP-Pro SP3on a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4002. Two weeks

a clean install to correct severe blue screen problems. Now
that I
have

not
work
fully. The Smart Panel, on the Copy function, does not
recognize the
Twain
driver, despite the fact that I have installed both the original
on
CD and
the current downloads. Epson Technical Support considers the
problem
New
Soft's. New Soft provided a driver belonging to another model
to
install,
and the Copy function still did not work. Does anybody know a
means
to
install this Twain driver for this scanner? Is there a file in
Windows that
I have to clear?
