I have a Epson Perfection 4490 with no 64bit drivers. I will need to either run Windows or a older version of Mac OS / OS X. I'm sure there are other use cases where one will need a older system. I was actually going to go down the route or building a new Hackintosh but have opted o build a Linux desktop with Mac OS VM using GPU pass through. Using this I could have the latest Mac OS and a older version when needed.
- pwg 7y agoSome info on getting the 4490 to work with Linux is here: https://www.patrickmin.com/linux/tip.php?name=epson4490 https://www.patrickmin.com/linux/tip.php?name=epson4490 The iscan-plugin-gt-x750 package referenced there was all I needed to get vuescan (https://www.hamrick.com/ https://www.hamrick.com/) to use the scanner on 64-bit Linux.
- trm42 7y agoHave you checked whether Vuescan or Silverfast supports your scanner model? They are quite amazing with supporting old hardware.
- dawnerd 7y agoI run an old windows VM just for printer drivers too. Some reason CUPS just doesn't want to work with it. Guess that's what I get for buying a weird $10 canon laser printer from Goodwill.
