    Could anybody advise me how can I select scanner device if I have 2 scanners with the same name and one driver. As I understand I will have one datasource but how can I select bus where necessary scanner connected?
    Thank you for any help 🙂

    there isn’t an official solution for this. there was a post a little while back where a guy had figured it out and if memory serves it involved adding one device (plugging it in) then going into the registry and renaming it and then adding the other, I think his solution worked partially due to the fact that he was using devices – it might not work for devices other types of devices.

    Thank you gabe,

    This is really interesting issue and I will look at other posts closely but I don’t think that way described by you is the best. And this is strange that there is no anything about this in Twain specification 🙄

    I completely agree on both parts, i don’t think this is a good solution either – it’s just the only one i’ve ever heard of. If you find better solution post back here with it.

    And yeah it is (sorta) strange that the spec doesn’t mention this, but there are stranger things in the spec (way, way stranger…)
