I know this is out there somewhere....

Isn't there some program that someone wrote that supports a bunch of scanners in osX. It isn't written by the scaner makers.

Thanks!

VueScan

thanks, but I don't think this is it. The program is for consumer scanners (if i remember correctly).

does anyone else know of the program I'm talking about?

VueScan definitely works with "consumer" scanners. There is a list of compatible scanners on the web site.
There is also SilverFast, but this is AT LEAST 3x more expensive than the reasonably priced VueScan ($40). SilverFast is also somewhat daunting for the novice scanner.
Take another look at VueScan. I'm pretty sure this is what you're looking for. What kind of scanner do you have?
