The Agfa software recognizes my scanner again and is simple to use, like I used to do for years. I can use SANE with VueScan or my latest Agfa Scanner software from 2002. Talking about great support, this is great support! Always up to date since it already runs fine without any issues on Snow Leopard!!! Thank you so much for this great work of art! I'm using the software on Tiger, Leopard and now Snow Leopard and it never let me down. The scanner is still in very good shape but the drivers and software where never updated since 10.1 or so. With SANE I can now use my first Agfa Scanner again on my newest Intel iMac or my PowerMac G5! This scanner was one of the first USB devices that I bought for my rev.a iMac back in 1998 -). I'm so happy this software excist! This solved all my issues with outdated scanner drivers in just a few minutes! If you don't install this package you can still configure the sane-backends using a text editor in the Terminal. There is also a optional SANE Preference Pane package available, which makes it easier to configure the sane-backends drivers. Before installing the TWAIN SANE Interface package you should install the libusb and the sane-backends binary packages. To use the interface you only have to install the binary package. The TWAIN SANE Interface is provided as a binary package and as source code. The TWAIN SANE Interface works with Image Capture starting with TWAIN SANE Interface version 1.0. I have tested it together with the GraphicConverter, Image Capture, OmniPage and Microsoft Word applications, but it should work with other applications using TWAIN as well. The feedback from users have helped the SANE developers to fix problems with various backends, so with each release of the SANE backends more of the Mac OS X specific problems have been solved.

It works with my HP SCSI scanner, and many people have reported success with a large number of different scanners. For a complete list see the documentation on the SANE project homepage.

The SANE backend libraries provide access to a large range of scanners connected through SCSI or USB. TWAIN SANE is a TWAIN datasource for Mac OS X that acquires images using the SANE backend libraries.
