Scanners that work with Microsoft ARM processer

I bought a Microsoft Surface Laptop last week. Got everything set up and then realized my ScanSnap scanner was not working with the new laptop. I called them and they said none of their scanners work with the ARM Processer in my laptop. Does anyone know what brand of scanners DO work with the ARM processer??? This is a HUGE problem for me. I am almost paperless and scan things all the time.

    Just a quick update. Looks like Epson already has support for many of their printers and scanners. Epson Scan 2 is supported on Windows 11 ARM.

    For example for my Expression Home 2205 Multifunction: https://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=AU&CTI=98&PRN=XP-2200%20Series&OSC=W1164 would download Epson Scan 2. Windows 11 ARM is now an option when looking for downloads.

    For printers, the Epson Universal Print Driver might work reasonably well, otherwise the basic Windows drivers work adequately.

    There is also updates on Epson's upcoming full features drivers for Windows ARM on one of the webpages.

    Hope this helps those still looking... This is an old post.

    I just bought a surface pro 11 with ARM and having the same issue connecting my ScanSnap scanner IX500. I called the company and the agent told me that the IX1600 would connect to the computer via Wifi instead of a USB cable. So what you said seems to confirm this.
