No, as there is no support in VRPC for using the host's USB devices.

It would be a very useful thing to have, but I don't think you'll ever 
persuade Aaron to spend any money having such a feature implemented. 
Particularly as it would have to be compatible with the Castle stack for 
the Twain driver to work.

The solution is to buy another scanner with has a Windows 7 driver, new 
ones are cheap, used ones on ebay are pennies.
