Can't Scan into Photoshop from Epson Perfection V600

I am trying to scan my art into Photoshop using an Epson Perfection V600 Photo scanner.  I have had the scanner for several years and it works fine just scanning files into the computer. Just recently, I installed photoshop on my Macbook Pro.  When I try to scan directly into photoshop I get a message that says "Failed to open connection to the device (-21345).  See photo.  I did upload the latest driver from Epson. It still says the dame thing.  Does anyone know a fix for this?  Thank you in advance.

Thanks! I think I got it to work. After downloading the new driver, I
restarted and the scanner scanned into Photoshop. No Problem.

This Macbook Pro is Apple Silicon? That's likely one reason it's not working. Can you do as @mj73_2 suggests and scan to the hard drive?

Oh ok, so it was a driver problem,

Thanks for looping back to us.

Hi @Kathy25984293bl77,

Scan to your hard drive, then open the image in Photoshop, as a stopgap.

Are you using the File > Import command in Ps?
