OK. Next step... 1. I tried SwingSane, a Java frontend for SANE: https://sourceforge.net/projects/swingsane/files/releases/0.2/macosx/ First step seemed to be configuring Global Settings, naming Resource/Username/Password. This should identify the scanner (according to the enigmatic video). I used "snapscan"/User name & password for my home folder, then several other combinations. But nothing turned up & no scan could be made. Here is the relavent system.log (I think):

I also tried SaneScanner, Alex Scheider’s app for OSX 10.7 and newer. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bjbnye7uj6egxrx/SaneScanner.zip?dl=1 It recognized an "Agfa snapscan". When the scan button was pressed, it went through the motions - an animated logo and tick on scan completion - but no scan was made and the scanner did not move.

As usual, no scan could be made with Image Capture, Preview or GIMP. Other apps (QuiteInsane & WebSANE) seemed too complicated for me to install. I'm running out of clues. Any ideas?
