I've googled for info. regarding Python, PIL, and scanners but haven't seen anything related to what I'm looking...

Anyone having experience with Kevin Gill's TWAIN module (from www.sourceforge.org)? Seems that a user MUST be logged in on the computer (Windows 2000) to be able to scan on a TWAIN-scanner?

Hey I have a function in a class library that I'm using to help scan checks in using WIA scripting objects. Last night it worked fine on one computer, but here at my office computer I'm getting an exception thrown: "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80210007." Anyone know what could be causing this? Is it a problem with my code, or is it a scanner driver problem Thanks Ben Coats

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
