I have written this program because my scanner is useless in OS X thanks to UMAX. Thankfully, the people working on SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) have come up with drivers for my scanner. However, I have to use the terminal to use it.
So, I have written a program to scan without all the hassle of terminal! It is very basic but does the job.
Before using my program, you need to download the libraries. Mattias Ellert has compiled sets for OS X and packaged them up. You can get them here. You need to download the binary file for SANE, and if your scanner is USB, the binary of libusb.

What's New
Version 1.2b:
- Direct access to the SANE library (better multiple scanner support, scanner detection)
- Preferences (you can choose what to do after a scan)
- Removed Settings window (buggy)
- Added Settings drawer (less settings, less buggy)
- Added a nice icon near the scanner name in the scanner list (nice!)
- Lots of bug fixing, we have changed almost everything under the surface
- Please note this is a beta release. The reason we are doing this is to fix any bugs that might come up. Please post any bugs found to the support forum.

However, what I get after it opens the scanner is a window that says:
"Press the 'Scan new image' button to scan. but there are no buttons to press nor any other kind of visible controls.

1) libusb.pkg
2) sane-backends.pkg
3) gettext.pkg
to get SANE running.
OK, works well with my Canon FB630U, but VueScans ugly interface seems to be better than the NON-GUI of SANE. Sorry to say that.

This program is buggy, with a not very good GUI, and doesn't have the options that vuescan offer.
"Unsupported: All UMAX USB models except 3400 (some versions), 5400 and PowerLook 180."
Lucky you.
