Have a late 2009 Mac mine running El Capitan and after the last upgrade I can no longer use my scanner, when I go to use it a get a message saying Can't open Epson Scan because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a work around this problem or do I have to buy an new printer. I now have an Epson CX 6600 Which has served me great for a number of years, maybe too many. If anyone can help me please let me know. I tried to download a new driver but was told that I have the latest.
Hi
Greysquirrel.. - well, your Mac Mini is now considered a
Vintage product in the USA and obsolete elsewhere in the world - look
HERE (also first pic below from link); I suspect that your Epson printer is of similar age? You need to really consider upgrading your equipment and if you have important files (docs/music/pics), then make sure that you have backups!
As to your scanner, I visited the Epson website for your printer
HERE - there appears to be a 'scanner driver' for your printer that will work w/ Apple's utility called
Image Capture (see middle pic below) - download and install, then open 'Image Capture' on your Mini to see if the scanner is recognized - third pic shows the app opened on my MBPro and via Wi-Fi, my Canon scanner in the next room is seen. Let us know - Dave
