I've tried that. The frontend is displayed, but the scanner does nothing.

Is your scanner a parallel port scanner, too? As far as I know 
SCSI-scanners work fine, but parallel scanners need the vxd file.

It may also depend on how the manufacturers develope their drivers. 
Direct port access works fine with wine, but access via vxd file will 
fail.

I know, but I would need some help with getting my scanner working. I 
don't have the needed knowledge to "just start writing the driver", 
but I would help where I can.
