| Jan 16, 2024 at 17:04 | comment | added | Human | I'm not interested in IC, I just wanted to provide my motivation why I am looking for an alternative. hamrick.com does look interesting, even though I am not interested in their main value proposition of providing drivers for abandoned scanners. Maybe VueScan will also work with the orignal drivers and provide me a nice interface for it... I will try it. Just like Image Capture, just better. | |

| Jan 16, 2024 at 16:46 | comment | added | Human | The issue is not the driver, they are fine and installed. The scanner is also just fine, the only thing that really bugs me is Apple Image Capture. | |
