I think most scanners can use the TWAIN driver. Look that up. I don't have a lot of experience, but have used a few scanners in my time, and most of them used TWAIN drivers.

Some of these might help, or they might not as I only marginally understand what you are asking.

Unless you have access to computers running every operating system from '95 to WinXP (and everything in between), and have, in house, a wide variety of scanning devices, this is going to be very, very difficult to ensure.
