That's strange, GIMP only supports TWAIN (and the WIA interface you're
seeing is a TWAIN-to-WIA bridge provided by Microsoft).

Which GIMP installer did you use - from
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ (also linked from
http://www.gimp.org/), or Partha's? My installer will normally install
a 32-bit TWAIN plug-in for GIMP (even on x64 Windows), because there
are almost no 64-bit TWAIN drivers, and you should be able to use
every TWAIN driver you have installed (both TWAIN drivers for my HP
5590 are shown, and a separate WIA stub).
