This scanner can not be shared on the network when connected to a Mac. It has least reliable paper pickup mechanism than any (HP, Xeros, Ricoh, ...) ADF I have seen in my life. The driver (last version for OSX dated June 2009) is awful and routinely crashes.

This has to be among the worst scanners I have had the displeasure of using. The sheet feeder is useless, hardly ever picks up the paper first time.

Easy to use and simple in its focus, the Epson WorkForce GT-1500 does an adequate job of photo- and document-scanning.

I bought the GT 1500 to archive documents. My first project was a 420 page document which I have scanned as a single PDF. The document feeder worked really well and in less than an hour I had a OCR PDF file of the document - very impressed.
