I'm trying to isntall Epson drivers since vuescan will not work. I just assumed there would be an app to click on to start it. Guess i'm wrong.:-) I tried image capture no luck. I used my volt tester thingy and it looks like power is gettin from the machine to the usb port. Hum maybe a different port, i'll try that.
