Epson Perfection 1250 does not run under Windows 10 64 bit

[JeppeArne]

Hi
Does anyone know if there is free software available that will make Epson Perfection 1250 run under the 64-bit Windows 10? I do not use my scanner that much, so I am reluctant to spend a lot of money on software for an old scanner.

Thank you very much for your suggestions. However, as far as I can see, VueScan from Hamrick.com is NOT freeware. You can download the software for free, OK, but to get rid of watermarks you need to buy the software. Considering that, I wonder why Hamrick.com is allowed to advertise its software as freeware on Tomsguide.com.

because it still works and is full version. the paid version removed the water markes.

VueScan is good value for money when you consider the alternatives - either buy a new AIO printer/scanner at roughly twice the price, or a dedicated flatbed scanner which costs even more (very few low-price dedicated flatbeds being manufactured now).

So $40 (less if you buy it now) for the Standard VueScan seems like a good buy to me, plus it's user-interface (and the size of it) beats hands down what you get bundled with most scanners unless they are pro models.

Hi Phillip Corcoran.
Thanks for your opinion. VueScan might seem good value to some, especially if they already have the scanner that would fulfill their scanning needs for many years to come, if driver problems had not got in the way. However, $ 40 is the price of VueScan only if you are satisfied with the sheer basics, viz. flatbed scanning and 1 year of free upgrades. If you need to be capable of slide scanning, OCR, and so-called advanced features, the price is $ 90.

The Perfection 2400U drivers MAY work

Yes, I've got the Pro version. Well, it's up to you now. VueScan or a new scanner.

The Perfection 2400U driver did not seem to be available from Epson. I have tried with the Perfection 2400, but - alas - it didn't work. But thanks anyway for taking the trouble.
