Until corporation's smarten up Microsoft will be a problem. Might not be entirely what you're looking for, but when I borrowed a slide photo-scanner, I also wasn't able to get it to work with Sane. I did, however, manage to run the scanner from an MS windows onstall under Virtualbox and passing the USB-slide scanner to that VM. I actually got better speed that way then when running MS Windows natively. (scan-speed, that is) -- Joost
