Utter inability of printer/scanner devs to make this work? Imagine a printer being sent to Mars in stead of the Curiosity robot! Nasa will probably call Seiko Epson Corp. tech support and get instructions to contact the Mars administration because the problemĪnyway, I am dual-booting Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.10 where I just go here toĢ530, download and install these two files: iscan-data_1.26.0-1_all.deb and Why won't the dang thing install? I'd like to add that in over 15 years of printer experience, I've never seen a printer just work in Windows. Or through a wall.Īll I want is to scan documents with the Epson WF-2530 Series in Windows 8 over a USB cable. I would rather see if I can throw this Epson WF-2530 Series printer over the street into the gracht from here. There is no way I am going to re-install my entire system in order to add a Epson WF-2530 Series printer.

Some people actually claim you should re-install Windows 8 and install the Epson WF-2530 Series printer and scanner drivers before anything else." Could not launch required program during setup, check the setup disc."
But now the installer won't run with the message Finally I tried installing in safe mode (not starting any extra services).Others have said you need to disable all non-Microsoft services and startup programs in msconfig, reboot, and try the installation then.But in Windows 8, that seems to be enabled by default already. Some say you need to enable the Shell Hardware Detection service first.These instructions stand out the most because I encountered them in different locations. None of them work, making me wonder if people even tried them, or just hand out made up advice because they think it might work. I've been at it for hours and tried a lot of the remove/delete/install/connect/disconnect instructions out there. I tried this with and without the Epson WF-2530 Series printer connected.
Restart your computer, then run setup again." Once I click "OK", the computer is force-rebooted and the exact same error occurs. The Epson WF-2530 Series printer drivers install fine, but when I install the Epson WF-2530 Series scanner driver from the Epson WF-2530 Series Software Disk Vol1.1 or theĬurrent latest driver ( Epson Scanner Driver and Scan Utility v3.791) for the Epson WorkForce WF-2530 All-in-One Printer from the website, I get a message saying However, the Epson WF-2530 Series scanner driver won't install. It supports all kinds of things, but all I'm interested in (in Windows 8) is scanning (over USB). I bought an Epson WF-2530 Series printer/scanner by Seiko Epson Corp.
