<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div>Hi Amy,<br>I'm that guy with the issue with macOS.<br>I used Mattias Ellert's page of Sane files for macOS. It has recently<br>closed down. (I suspect there was trouble keeping up with changes to<br>the Mac OS.) Some copies are found on the Wayback machine:<br>https://web.archive.org/web/20201011095718/http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/<br>Loading 4 files, plus a little fiddling, allowed me to keep an Agfa<br>scanner alive on Snow Leopard. But nothing seems to work for El<br>Capitan. My present solution has required making a partition on the El<br>Capitan machine and transferring all of Snow Leopard there (Sane files<br>included) with Disk Utility.<br>You might try the same thing. Booting up separately, your present<br>scanner and its software could still be useful.<br><br></div></div><div><br></div>
