I think what he meant was that his Agfa has died and he is looking for 
a replacement scanner, not a driver.

Personally, I have two scanners: one is an HP PSC 950 All-in-one and 
the other is a Canon LiDE 30. Both are not without their flaws, but 
they do both work fine under OS X. The LiDE 30, which I just recently 
purchased, is great because of its small size and the fact that it's 
USB-powered. It fits fine in my laptop bag, so easy to travel with. The 
software, while OS X native, doesn't seem to be the most well-designed 
in the world. However, it does do the main thing that I use it for 
exceptionally well -- make text-searchable multi-page PDFs.
