Well, I must have one of the UMAX scanners that it doesn't work with, the 3450. It won't scan all the way to the bottom. It scans 2/3 of the way down, and the bottom 1/3 is blank - yet the scan mechanism does actually scan all the way down. It's ok if you only scan photos, or anything that fits within the top 2/3, but not with regular 8.5 X 11 documents. Doesn't seem to matter what settings I fiddle with, either. I'll just have to live with scanning in Classic - I don't use it enough to justify buying a new one just to use with OS X. It seems that it doesn't work with most of the more commonly used scanners in existence, so I wouldn't exactly call VueScan "excellent".
