New and in need of help.

Nope, not all scanners are Twain compatible in fact for awhile, HP had
broken Twain and they don't support it as well in some of their series.
Other brainds are even worse.

Hi

Do TWAIN make scanners?  I thought that TWAIN was an interface.  almost
every scanner is TWAIN compliant and when installed under Windows uses a
TWAIN interface but the same scanner will work under GNU/Linux with the
"Scanner Access Now Easy".  You can see the list of supported scanners on
the SANE www site.

Sorry, can't remember what TWAIN stands for but it is another acronym.
