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
