  Hello Nigel,

  the first problem I see is that it shall not be possible to turn
  off the graphical user interface of a lot of twain drivers.
  So it does not fit any more into the sane protocol.

  May be it would be possible to write a gimp plugin.

  But in general I do not like such things because they are not
  even good for system stability and speed.

  Bye
  Oliver
