Epson GT-S50 Drivers for Windows 10: Get the Latest Update Now

Okay, so I needed to get my old Epson GT-S50 scanner working on my Windows 10 computer. I know, I know, it’s an older model, but it still works great and I didn’t want to buy a new one just yet. Anyway, I thought it would be a simple plug-and-play, but boy, was I wrong!

First, I plugged the scanner into my computer and turned it on. Windows did its usual “finding new hardware” thing, but it couldn’t find the right drivers. No problem, I thought, I’ll just grab them from the Epson website.

So, I headed over to the Epson support site, which was not so easy to use. I typed “GT-S50” into their search bar, and thankfully, it popped right up. I found the “Downloads” section and saw a list of drivers for different operating systems. Made sure I was on the Windows 10 page.

• I clicked on the driver download link.
• It took a little while to download, probably because it’s an older driver or something.
• Once it was downloaded, I double-clicked the file to start the installation.

The installer started up, and I just followed the on-screen prompts. It was pretty straightforward – you know, “next,” “agree,” “install,” and all that jazz. After it finished, it asked me to restart my computer, so I did.

A Little Trouble Shooting

After the restart, I tried scanning something, but it still wasn’t working right. I got some weird error message, and the scanned images had vertical lines all over them. Ugh, so frustrating! I tried everything, but finally I found that in the installation package there was another application named TWAIN PRO, so I installed it.

After installing TWAIN PRO and restarting, I opened the scanning software, and it recognized the scanner! I hit the scan button, and it worked! The image quality was great, just like I remembered. Success!

So, yeah, it took a bit of fiddling around, but I finally got my Epson GT-S50 scanner working on Windows 10. If you’re having trouble with older hardware, don’t give up! Sometimes all it takes is a little patience and some digging around on the manufacturer’s website to find the right drivers and get things up and running. And don’t forget to try the TWAIN PRO when you meet some wired errors. Man, you know sometimes you may think it is not such useful, but when you really need it, it can save you!
