Can I easily run Window under Linux in a way that would drive these scanners? I think that the Windows system would need control of the USB port to which the scanner is connected.

I just did a quick test using W10 in Boxes on Fedora with my Canon printer/scanner connected. In Boxes Preferences/Devices & Shares/USB Devices, I enabled the printer. Then I scanned into IrfanView. Some weekend I'll give this a try with my 18x12 scanner which has been unsupported for a number of years. Mike
