It occurred to me after all this I may have just been able to tell the Universal version to run under Rosetta 2 but it’s working now so I will leave it alone. With that downloaded and installed, VueScan now works. That’s where I’d found Epson Scan 2, but also on that page was a separate driver download. Which then led me to the Epson support downloads page. I dug into the Library folder and found what I believed to be the TWAIN driver and it was indeed a 64-bit Intel binary. I knew x32 was going to be a no-go option so I started mulling over what might be the problem.

It then recommended that I try to download the “圆4” version.Īt first I could not find this version (it’s behind very small link text below the very big download button) and when I did and installed it, I got a new “hint” which said it could not find any drivers for 圆4 and I should try the x32 version! When I started the VueScan application it popped up a “hint” that it had seen my Epson Perfection V370 Photo scanner but that “the plugin libraries are for Intel processors”. However, when I went to use it, I struck a bit of a snag.Īs a background to this, I already had the Epson Scan 2 software installed and working. I was pleased to see that Hamrick Software offer a Universal version of their VueScan app and I duly downloaded it to my M1 MacBook Pro when I was setting it up. I thought I’d post this here as I had some confusion over this situation this week.
