Missing plugin for Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner

It is a shame that Epson releases an Apple Image Capture (ICA) V600 scanner driver in Aug 2022, which shows it is available for macOS 12 and does not state that it is incompatible with Apple Silicon Macs. It is a Universal binary but contains executables for 64-bit and 32-bit Intel architectures only. Checked that with lipo(1) so no mistake on the executable's contents.

You should reach out to Epson and raise massive **** about this. Epson has the Apple Developer tools to create Universal2 binaries that also contain ARM64e executables making this even more egregious. Apple has no control over internal Epson mischief and oversight.

Until you get functional ARM64e binaries from Epson for your Mac Studio, you have a V600 paperweight as even the optional, paid VueScan Professional won't drive this scanner without compatible Epson drivers.

Hello mgraffeo,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with connecting your Epson printer. We recommend reaching out to the manufacturer for the best guidance on how to connect: EPSON

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

I was curious why Rosetta2 didn't just handle this and not having to deal with Epson nonsense, I didn't have the means to test and solve here. Fortunately, you resolved this after some hair loss and can now use VueScan Professional as it was intended.

You would think that Epson would not pass the buck here and force you to use Rosetta2 when the clang compiler supplied with the Apple Devtools can cross-compile. Perhaps they are doing this with a compiler that cannot generate ARM64E binaries. I have done that here with Swift binaries for Intel and M1 platforms, so it is not rocket science.

We understand mgraffeo,

In this case, please reach out to Apple directly for assistance here to resolve the issue: Get Support

Cheers!
