Hi Chris,

I have an OKI scanner which has a neat little linux app for running it
from a linux desktop. However it hasn't been updated from python 2.7
days and I'm looking at ways I might get it to run on my recently
upgraded Debian 12 system.
I managed for a while to keep it running on systems which no longer
have python 2.7 by building a cxfreeze environment but this is no
longer viable.
I understand your goal is to use your scanner, not run Python 2.7. If
that's not the situation, ignore my below suggestion :-)
If that's the case, I suggest you check out VueScan found at
www.hamrick.com which has become a great tool to keep working hardware
in use and even "unlock" features, as vendor supplied scanning software
is more often than not rather terrible.
Anyway, they do have a search function for scanners at the start page,
do not seem to do much user tracking on the web site, offer a free trial
version, and are pretty good with support. Not open source software,
though, but I actually understand why...
Cheers,
Arno
