Using scanner with 2021 iMac

I have a new 2021 iMac running MacOS 11.4. My scanner is an Epson Perfection V500 Photo. I have tried the Epson driver Epson's "ICA Scanner Driver v5.8.7 for Apple's Image Capture utility" but still can't get it to work. On my old iMac I used the Vuescan app but that also will not work.


Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get the V500 working on the new M1 please?


Thanks

I now have the Epson V500 Photo working on my 2021 M1 iMac running MacOS 11.4 working and this is the recipe I used.


  • latest Epson driver ( I downloaded "ICA Scanner Driver v5.8.7 for Apple's Image Capture utility")
  • Downloaded Vuescan 9 x64 9.7.59
  • Go to finder - applications - highlight the Vuescan app - right click - info - click option to open with Rosetta

I have the Vuescan app working as expected.

Go to the Epson support website for this scanner,

https://epson.com/Support/Scanners/Perfection-Series/Epson-Perfection-V500-Photo/s/SPT_B11B189011?review-filter=macOS+11.x

Make sure the operating selector is set for macOS 11

Click the plus buttons to reveal the downloads available there is a driver available v5.8.9 from January 2021, so

may make a difference over the 5.8.7 version you have.
