Use an unsupported Epson scanner with Image Capture
I had to use your "slightly modified" hint to get the scanner part of my old faitfull Epson Stylus CX3810 to work under LION os, on an intel MacBook Pro. After getting the USB device info, "Stylus CX3800 0x0818" , I wrote the following sequence:
Use an unsupported Epson scanner with Image Capture
After reading my post, I realise the simplest thing to do is to replace the "Product Identification string" of a supported scanner close to your own, in file DeviceMatchingInfo.plist . In my case I only have to find the CX4200 Product Identification entry, in the file, and replace <string>CX4200</string> with <string>stylus CX3800</string> , and do nothing else... As a matter of fact, I did find the entry for a still supported "CX3900", and replaced it with "stylus CX3800". This amusingly gives me the right device Icon in Image capture, but the scanner name is now displayed as PX-A620... but what the h... you could always play with the "Region Name" in ModelInfo.plist but I didn't, I can live with it this way. Have fun ! |
