Could you build this?
No Scanner utility software like VueScan requires low-level hardware drivers, reverse-engineered USB/SCSI/FireWire protocols, and firmware interfacing for thousands of physical scanners.
What it would actually take: Building a universal scanning engine requires C/C++ driver development, direct SCSI/USB command packet authoring, color calibration engines (ICC profiling), and extensive physical hardware testing benches across legacy and modern scanner hardware.
