Very bad Usenet etiquette to reply to your own post. <grin>

Would you believe I've just discovered 'naps2' and though it's a littlte
funky (I get sometimes an 'aborted' error), it does actually seem to work
to run the auto page feeder on the scanner quite nicely.

Woo Hoo! Now I can delete Windows 7 and Virtualbox at the same time!!

Now for that Apple PITA, and I'll be home and hosed.

Regards,

Jack
