Wine does not support Windows Drivers.

No.  Wine uses the drivers that ARE installed in Ubuntu Linux.  Thus, if 
you want to use that WizBang scanner, you either have to find a driver 
for it or look if SANE supports it.  If you want to use a USB device 
(other than memory devices) you will have to find a Linux driver for it 
or find another device.
