    I seem to remember some annoying shit called TWAIN from decades ago, which was always giving me errors and headache. Is that still a thing?

      It still is, it’s a standard for imaging devices. Honestly aside from it being annoying, it was and is a decent attempt at a standard for scanners coming from an era of driver standards as a pipe dream. Try that with printers, ever. And also a nightmare.
