Beta: work in progress. Second test release of OpenQuad. It fixes scanning on Epson printers.

What's fixed

  • Scanning on Epson printers (found on an ET-2900). Calibration scans failed with "scanner refused the job (HTTP 503): b''". The Epson answers a scan job with a secure (https) address that the app couldn't use, so the scan never downloaded and the job stayed open on the scanner, blocking every later scan. OpenQuad now keeps to the scanner address it connected to. Checked on a real ET-2900: it scans a full Letter page in about 20 seconds and measures it correctly.
  • A clearer message when a scanner stays busy: "the scanner is busy: a scan job is still open on it… Wait a minute and try again, or turn the printer off and on."

If an Epson still refuses after updating, a job from an earlier failed attempt may still be open on it: turn the printer off and on once.

Install the Mac app

  1. Download OpenQuad-0.1.0b2.zip below and unzip it. Replace any earlier copy in Applications.
  2. The beta isn't notarized by Apple yet. The first time, double-click it, then go to System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenQuad.app.

Needs macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. Your saved calibrations and settings carry over.

Known limitations

  • Not notarized yet.
  • Tested on a Canon PIXMA MG3600 (printing, scanning, full calibration) and an Epson ET-2900 (scanning; its calibration is in progress).
  • Process calibration hasn't been run on real carbon tissue yet.
  • The QuadToneRIP-style raw-ink path isn't built.
