I use the 5200's twain driver with photoshop elements. It works very well.

Running MacMini with Tiger 500 MB RAM

I'm having difficulty getting a consistent connection
to my Epson Stylus 5200 3n1 or even any Scanning capability at all in OSX.

I must start and restart either the printer or computer to get a connection.



If you mean the Epson Stylus CX5200 printer, the following Apple Support document indicates that it is supported under Tiger through Epson driver 1.41 or Gimp-Print driver 5.0.0.
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301175#epsondrivers>

Which driver did you try?



Attempts to download from the Epson sight
"TWAIN Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v2.65A"
(which claims 10.3.x compatibility consistently fail.
It's a whopping 40.5 MB file that always stalls at 33.5
reporting "POSIX error connection reset by peer"



I have no problem downloading Epson File 11390.sea (TWAIN Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v2.65A).



I notice on Version Tracker some dialog on difficulty with Espon
and earlier OSX issues and complaints about Epson customer support. So maybe this is an endemic incompatibility?



Over several years I contacted Epson Technical Support twice by e- mail, with questions about Mac OS X support for very old Epson printers, and received prompt, courteous and helpful responses.
