Ok, those tips are good. I tested a "scan to Computer" and the Pictures window pops up with direction to the image. No problems there. But right now I see "epsonf64e68" in the sidebar. When I scan an image to the memory card inserted into the printer CF slot, I go to the "epsonf64e68" in the sidebar and then browse to the memory card within the Epson printer. I then pick it up that way. I see that "Scan to Printer" is more sensible if I am trying to get it to the Macbook anyway. However, the printer is still noted in the sidebar - but not always. I took Neil Houghton's advice about Finder preferences and have implicitly followed those, but there was nothing to change, as they were all set per his recommendations.
Hmmm, interesting..

Many times when I open the Finder window I DON'T see the Epson printer as an available shared device - yet I am able to send print jobs which successfully print to it. I did a scan to a memory card inserted in the CF slot of the Epson and am unable to browse to it to pick up the resultant PDF from the scan. You scanned to the Memory Card, the file is saved to the Memory Card. If you scan to your computer, the file is saved to the computer. There are times when I do see the printer there as a Shared Device and no problem browsing in those instances - but I cant figure why it is there sometimes and not other times. Is there a setting I have missed or is a reboot required somewhere? Thanks for any experiences anyone here has. As far as I know the Epson TX710W shouldn't show in the Sidebar under "Shared" of a Finder Window. The sidebar is where you can access commonly used items, including volumes, folders, applications, and documents. The TX710W is not a mountable volume. It is shared for Printing & Scanning, not for accessing from the Finder like a shared volume. My TX700W never shows in the sidebar under Shared.
