If you want to choose scanners, it may not be the first available Source (the camera may be first), so you should instead try to show a Select Source dialog by invoking DG_CONTROL / DAT_IDENTITY / MSG_USERSELECT operation during State 3 of your TWAIN app. When you select a source and confirm, you should be able to get the Source's info and type in the TW_IDENTITY struct that you passed.
