How do I install the latest scanner driver in the Mac OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) system?::>click HERE

here you go

http://drivers.dltube.net/download19190.html

links at the button of that page..

You will try these sites for Drivers download.com freewarefiles.com brothersoft.com

The first thing to try: a new USB cable and a different port. (If you are using a hub, try directly connecting to the computer). What does the device manager say about the scanner? (In Windows, access from the Control Panel > Hardware. Exact directions depend on the OS version.)

Check the transport lock on the bottom of the scanner - do not put the scanner on its side when you check the lock.

Make sure the scanner was on and had already warmed up (stopped blinking) before you tried to start the scanner software (either by the buttons or from the scanner). You may want to reboot the computer (in case the computer thinks one program has locked access to the scanner).

I hope this helps.

(scanners require two-way communication with the computer and a bad cable will stop the scan even when the computer sees the scanner and the software installed without a problem.)

The only way you're going to know if it's the scanner or the driver for sure is to install it on say an XP machine and see what results you get. If it's still dark, it's the scanner, if not, it's the driver.

plz try by reloading the drivers then change the port and usb cable

go to www.driverguide.com

Hi

You may get any of these errors when you’re using a Mac with OS X 10.2.x or later and Classic is running in the background.

These same problems can occur if Classic is configured to launch when you log in to OS X. (You can enable/disable this feature by checking Start Classic when you login in the Classic section of theSystem Preferences, as shown below).

Epson now have an updated driver which supports scanning in OS X while Classic is running. You can download the latest TWAIN Driver and Epson Scan Utility from the Perfection 2580 Photo Downloads page


Also review this link. If still it does not work then you can contact  EPSON 2580 PERFECTION PHOTO SCANNER SUPPORT. 

Please do accept the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks Rylee

Please try the following to resolve your issue:
1. Unplug the USB cable and the AC adapter from the back of the scanner.
2. Toggle the Transportation lock (located on the bottom of the scanner) back and forth 5 times, ensuring that the lock is all the way in the unlock position.
3. Reconnect the USB cable and the AC adapter cable, and then try to scan.

I cannot send you a CD -- I do not have one but I can show you where on the internet you can download the drivers and manuals for this machine. According to Epson's Vista support page even if I had a CD you would still need to download the Vista drivers. (They apparently were released after the CD)

In order to read the manuals you will need Adobe Reader it is free click the Get Adobe Reader button at this link.

Your manuals and software are available here

Epson does not seem to have instructions on how to install the downloaded software.Try installing this the first two in the order they are in the list they are the only ones applicable to windows Vista. (assure you only install downloads for VISTA.

The only thing I can think of is to turn you to be scanned image up side down in the scanner bed.. IE Rotate 180' As another work arround simply open up Paint etc,and rotate the image 180' and save, ya should be all good.
