    The old drivers like Twain 5 or 5.7.1 don't seem to work for Windows 10 (even with compatibility settings). I used to be able to make the scanner work before on windows 10 (I can't quite remember what I did to make it work), but after I reinstalled the OS, I can't seem to install the scanner any more.

    There is only an Even Manager on Epson site for this scanner for Windows 10, but that can't find the scanner. I tried NAPS2 which worked (somehow) before, but it's not connecting to scanner either.

    I wonder if there is a work around to make the scanner work.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Look here ......

    can't install Epson perfection 1240u
    On my Windows 10 box I have a Canon Lide 35 attached which will only work if the Lide 60 drivers are loaded, so the above trick may work for you.

    If the above does not work out try Vuescan

    I tried that and it did not work. The Epsonscan didn't connect to the scanner either.

    The Viewscan costs about $40. The question is whether I should spend all that money on an old scanner or buy a new one for a little more cost.

    Your call - Vuescan is compatible with your scanner.
