I downloaded the professional version of Vuescan and it allowed me to
use my older scanners with Lion.  I havent tried the OCR on it yet
but, one drawback was that it was also $80 USD.  The great aspect of
this program is that it supports over 1200 scanners.  If you want more
info on it Antoine, let me know.  It allows me to finally get back to
scanning and get the rest of these magazines up finally!
