Macworld UK has published an article that examines the lack of official scanner support under Mac OS X. One spokesperson for the TWAIN Working Group, which establishes standards to link applications with image-capture devices, likens the situation to a chicken-and-egg problem. “Application vendors need hardware to test, hardware manufacturers require applications to test,” she told the publication. Readers should note, however, that Hamrick Software’s VueScan supports a plethora of scanners under Mac OS X, albeit the software is not integrated into any applications.
