Attached is a message I sent to Logitech customer support and their reply. Since Logitech is refusing to support their products for any OS other than Micro$oft, does a generic driver exist for "Twain compliant" scanners? Logitech claims this scanner is 100% Twain compliant, so I thought maybe someone has a driver that might work. Any suggestions? Thanks.
