Need TWAIN-compliant scanner

Question

I'm interested in getting a Dell All-In-One to replace my separate printer and scanner, but I have one application that requires a TWAIN-compliant scanner. After searching the Dell website and spending 45 minutes online with three levels of tech support, I can't find any definite answer to whether any of the Dell All-In-Ones are TWAIN compliant. Any help from you experts?

Dells' AIO scanners, as well as 99% of scanners on the market, include twain compliant drivers.

Thanks, BettaMan. I did have trouble with a Canon Lide scanner which did not come with a TWAIN driver. Do the Dell AIOs install the TWAIN driver automatically, or do you have to do a special install to get it? Is it included on the CD or does it have to be downloaded? Thanks for the info.

I use one of two scanners and the Dell AIO shows up as a 'Twain Source' without having to load special drivers.  They are loaded by default when you install via the Dell CD.
