Very bad Usenet etiquette to reply to your own post. 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 -- "I'm a home-loving girl. And that's where I wish I was."
