Windows 10: Surface Pro giving watchdog_timeout error whenever I use my Epson Scanner WF2510 - also...

I have been using this for years on my older laptop, also using Windows 10.

:)

 

Epson 1200 scanner now working! Very pleased.


Worked perfectly,

• Installed 2400 series driver (when it asked what model I had I also picked, 1270 and 4180 since these had the Slide scanner interface I thought it might add a few extra drivers)
• Restarted PC
• Needed to use Device manager 'Updated driver'
• Assign 2400 driver. (See attached image)
• Be sure scanner is powered on so it appears in device manager.

Tested the Slide scanner attachment, I used PRO mode and it was discovered.
I had to use the plastic blackout slide holder (for masking the slide) to find the slide though.



Hope this helps others, Thanks again for the step by step! *Smile

 

Unable to get Win10 to recognize EPSON 4870 Photo Scanner


I'll walk you though the steps I do to install my Perfection 1200. I have to do this periodically for some reason to reestablish the 'non-standard' Perfection 2400 driver.

1. Right click on the scanner in Device Manager (as Admin) and select Update Driver. Then select the option to browse my computer for driver software.



2. Then select Let me pick from a list of device drivers....



3. Select Imaging Devices from the next list.



4. Finally, select the correct Epson driver you have installed then click Next. If it isn't listed then something has gone wrong with the driver installation.



5. Hopefully, the scanner should now work?

Hi Tahuya,
I also have the latest Windows 10 update, version 1703 build 15063.413 (on a Pro 64 bit machine). The upgrade disabled my old Epson 1200 scanner, as usual, but I found that the work-around to use the 2400 driver was straightforward, as follows.
Device Manager showed the yellow warning triangle against the Epson Perfection 2400 imaging device. Double click, then select Driver, then Update Driver. Next 'browse my computer for driver software', then 'Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer'. This brings up a manufacturer list which includes Epson, and when selected that gives Epson Perfection 2400 as one of the options.
Job done in under two minutes.
