What an interesting niche business. Amazing that they have reverse engineered so many different devices (6,000+), though I would bet there are only a few dozen basic categories that you can fit them all in. The founder of Hamrick would make for a very cool AMA type post here.

It's great stuff and supports a seemingly endless number of scanners old and new.

Thanks, I'll certainly try it out.

Edit: Yup, it covers my Visioneer 7300. Thank you indeed.

SANE claimed in 2005 to support the Visioneer 7300, for whatever that's worth. Though VueScan seems very cool, especially supporting IR dist removal, which is not present in SANE (which tends against any processing whatsoever).

I do have sane on my system. However, I found the interface very rudimentary.

Yeah, and the first-party SANE command line frontend (scanimage) is the only one that works reliably for me. I was just thinking of looking in to why none of the third-party frontends are reliable, I think I'll at least post an issue about that on the GitLab. XSane may work better than the GNOME and KDE SANE frontends.
