10.3: Installation tip for Epson scanner drivers

This hint refers to the Epson Perfection 2400 (and probably all other Epson Perfection series scanners).

Installing the Epson scanner drivers (version 1.28) in 10.3 will cause the buttons on the front of the scanner to stop working. Before installing the drivers, pushing the scan button would open Image Capture.

The solution is to use the Custom Install... option when installing the drivers. Be sure to select the correct model and only the drivers for your specific scanner will be installed - rather than all Epson scanners.

Unfortunately, I don't think doing a Custom Install after the Easy Install will fix the broken installation. In my case I was reinstalling the drivers after upgrading a hard drive with a clean 10.3 install.
