BTW, sometimes it seems to make sense to open the windows driver with a hex 
editor, before opening the scanner.
E.g. for the tevion scanner I'm playing with at the moment, there's a file 
called Artec48.sys in windows/system32/drivers. The hex editor reveals 
something like:
"Grand Tech GT680x Scanner USB Driver". Maybe the umax driver contains 
similar information ?
