  I tried it also vainly. The last time they updated that side was
  two years ago.

  My LS2000 works.

  Thank you for this tip. I am trying it at the moment and it is
  working, too. The installation was easy, what was very very nice.
  vuescan has more features but the scans take you a longer time.
