Thanks for the explanation. I haven't yet tried to use a Windows app to run the scanner: my current plan is use a native program such as ScanVue, which claims to support my scanner, but although the kernel recognises my scanner when its plugged in, it doesn't log anything about creating a device file for it and, when started, ScanVue says there's no scanner connected so evidently something is missing. From what you say, this would also stop a Wine app from finding the scanner: thats worth knowing too. This thread is the result of me noticing that the wine-twain package was part of today's Fedora upgrade which moved Wine from 1.3.16 to 1.3.17. Seeing that set me thinking about trying a Windows app instead. Naturally, I had a look at the appDB and was extremely surprised to find no hits for the obvious key-words twain, scanner, Minolta or Scan Dual. So this thread is an attempt to find out if any current Wine apps use TWAIN - the answer seems to be NO! I'll post something here if/when I get either ScanVue or a Wine app to notice the scanner.
