Konica Minolta 2590MF Scanner Mac Compatible Software?

I bought this nice, new printer/fax/scanner combo for $350, including shipping, and it really does print beautifully. I've even gotten the fax working to my satisfaction. The scanner is another matter. Vuescan and Silverfast(?) don't have this item on their supported list. I opened Image Capture on my iMac, and it even allows me to chose my printer's name, but it doesn't respond thereafter to any commands, and the scanner commands on it's board don't go past allowing me to choose Scan to PC, but then won't proceed when you hit the Select [the action to Scan to PC] command. I think it will give a high quality scan if it would work with my computer...

It's rather disingenuous of Konica Minolta to plaster Mac OSX pictures on their box and on all the advertising for this product, when only the printer portion of the multifunction machine is Mac-compatible. Their own booklets [the ones you see only after you buy the product and download them] indicate that you should take it upon yourself to go and find a Twain-based software that is compatible with their machine...what kind of manufacturer's advice is that?

I went to the SANE site, but they were so techie, I couldn't comprehend the lengthy instructions about what to definitely not to contact them about [under any circumstances]...I'm not completely new to this, but not a programmer, either... Any advice would be welcome.
