This use case seems like it’d be taken care of pretty well by a VM running the requisite version of Windows, since VMs have USB passthrough. Years ago when Windows-only peripherals were more common I did this on my macs.
- ajb 4y agoYes, I used to have a VM of Windows, at one point they were trying to attract devs and sold a VM licence for $25. But it stopped working when I changed computers (I think that was outside the terms) and now a legitimate VM licence is much more unless you go for a dodgy OEM key. Coincidentally I just tried again today and the scanning story on Ubuntu has improved a bit . Setup is still a bitch but once it's there it's almost as productive as scanning on windows.
