Install VirtualBox, and create a virtual machine for a system that
supports your scanner. Don't use the packages from Debian, as they are
for a version of VirtualBox that does not support USB devices.

When you are able to scan using your primary system, delete the virtual
machine.

If you're like me you'll find other uses for virtual machines once you
are accustomed to working with them.

(I use a VM to run Windows in a window, as G*d intended.)  ;)Marin3r
