The Epson Perfection 4490 is an AWESOME scanner!! I had to reinstall to 10.3 32-bit from 64-bit due to the driver not willing to work with 64-bit, and took a slight performance hit because of it. There are 2 problems that SHOULDN'T be problems, as long as this driver has been out. They are: only 2400dpi is possible, when the scanner will do 4800x9600, and it won't scan negatives properly. Photos, line drawings or text, and of course transparencies - yes.....very well done. The driver should work properly.
