For completeness, there are a couple of other things I discovered
setting up my Fujitsu fi-4530C ADF scanner (Fujitsu makes high quality,
fast and compact ADF units that are often inexpensive on ebay):
* You may be able to install a 32 bit WinXP driver under 32 bit Win 7:
- this trick can't work on 64 bit Windows.
* A very effective way to use a scanner that has a 32 bit driver only is
VirtualBox. Enable the USB passthrough for the scanner device in
VirtualBox' guest settings. In this way I can run a Windows XP guest on
OS X and scan from any modern Mac, even though only a 32 bit Windows
driver is available. To do this, I use NAPS2 (and PaperScan for oversize
schematics). The Windows XP image is no longer available on the
modern.ie site but should be obtainable, uh, informally.
Just a couple of things to try if reviving a scanner with limited driver
options.

This guy sells drivers for many types of scanners including obsolete
scanners at a very reasonable price. I have an UMAX Astra 1200S
scanner and
his driver works great with it. Not only that but the very same software
package (there is only one) works with all listed scanners. The list is
huge.
I am not connected with Hamrick except for the fact that I am a very
happy
customer. Happy that I can use my old scanner with Win7.
