Epson scanners and TWAIN support in Photoshop
Hey, thanks for the tip!
It turns out the Epson TWAIN driver didn't work for one reason -- the folks at Epson forgot to include the TWAIN Data Source Manager. Duh.
The Canon installer installed one, that's why the Epson TWAIN driver started working. However, you don't need to install the Canon scanner driver to get the Data Source Manager.
Here's how to get the Epson TWAIN driver working:
1. After installing the Epson TWAIN driver, point your browser to http://www.twain.org/carbon_dsm.htm
2. Fill out the form with any old name and email and submit it.
3. Download the SDK disk image in the page that follows after you submit the form.
4. Mount the disk image and double-click it to open it. Open "Carbon TWAIN SDK", then "TWAIN" within that. Inside that folder you will see a shared lib called "TWAIN Source Manager.Shlb".
5. Copy "TWAIN Source Manager.Shlb" to /Library/CFMSupport on your Mac OS X system drive.
That's all there is to it! Note that the data source manager you installed is 1.9b3. You might want to periodically check back at www.twain.org to see if a more recent version has been posted.
Happy scanning! :-)

Thanks for the excellent feedback on setup. I found that the TWAIN driver only seems to work with USB and not Firewire.
