--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu> ---
64-bit TWAIN 2.3 drivers for Windows are not widely implemented. While we've
added support to use TWAINDSM.DLL 64-bit driver [1]--in practice we have no
Scan support for 64-bit Windows builds.

Implementing support for 64-bit WIA framework would allow use of widely
available 64-bit scanner drivers. [2]

32-bit TWAIN drivers remain common, but providing 32-bit WIA should probably be
implemented as well. WIA is stable enough on Windows that TWAIN could be
deprecated.
