1356225 2013-10-16 19:50:00 I seek a driver so I can use my old (but perfectly serviceable) Epson Perfection 610 scanner with my new Win 8 Acer laptop. I've done numerous web searches, many of which look promising until you get down to the nitty-gritty. Mike S (1766)
1356226 2013-10-16 20:27:00 Since 8.1 isnt compatible with it, I doubt Win8 will be (www.microsoft.com 08.1&Locale=en-au&Architecture=X64&TextSearch=Epson%2BPerfection%2B610%2B&Type=Both&CurrentPage=0&TotalPages=1&ShowCriteria=0&SortCriteria=Relevance&Compatibility=Unknown&LastRequested=14)

Time to update it I think. Unless the V600 drivers from the Epson site work

have you tired the inbuilt Scanner in Windows 8 ?

Go to the start screen type in Windows Fax and scan - Select it, then click new Scan - See if it picks up the Scanner.

Failing that what May work is paperscanFree (www.orpalis.com)

1356228 2013-10-16 20:36:00 It MAY work with Vuescan. But it's not free for some of it's options Speedy Gonzales (78)
1356229 2013-10-17 01:19:00 Win8 can provide surprises. I have an old Canon S750 printer that didn't have a Win8 DVR but after a while Win8 just installed it out of the blue. linw (53)
1356230 2013-10-17 01:22:00 Win8 did the same thing here once it had installed the drivers for the wireless and once it was online. It installed the tuner drivers probably from windowsupdate Speedy Gonzales (78)
1356231 2013-10-17 03:17:00 Thanks WT, just tried Fax and Scanner in W7 with a 8 yr old HP mfc, found scanner and print drivers ok. Whenu (9358)
1356232 2013-10-17 08:03:00 Have you tried the download from the Epson site?? (tech.epson.co.nz). Dont know what it installs, I dont have an Epson scanner Speedy Gonzales (78)
