Running a scanner's Windows application under an emulator?

[Mike111]

Hi All,

I plan to purchase a scanner which is not yet supported but SANE but it will be supplied with a Windows scanning application.

Is it possible to run such an application under an Windows emulator like wine (until SANE supports the scanner)? has anyone actually done this?.

Thanks,
Mike.

        Hello,

        from the doc on winehq (http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/misc-things-
to-configure , section 3.3.5), wine is using SANE to provide TWAIN support. So
I'm afraid it won't work.
        Running your scanner from a vmware windows guest OS will work.

Regards,
        Stef

Use VirtualBox instead.

QEMU should also be able to forward USB devices to the guest, on linux
hosts at least, but I never really tried hard.

As per http://www.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html :
-usbdevice host:bus.addr
or
-usbdevice host:vendor_id:product_id
