As with the Fujitsu, Canon (notoriously know for crappy software support) didn't work on my Apple Silicon Mac.
Here I found that SANE, an open source project for scanners, which supports tons of older scanners, supports this scanner as well.

1. Install the SANE Backend (aka "driver") on your Mac.

I've found some old binaries for manual install, but ended up using this HomeBrew formula:

brew install sane-backends

Note: If you do not have HomeBrew installed on your Mac, then execute this in Terminal (official documentation)

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install a SANE compatible front-end (aka "scanner application").

For this I used NAPS2, which a free and reasonable good and simple to use Scanner application that supports SANE. 
Download it, install it, and run it.

Once the window opens, press the "Scan" arrow/button:

Since no scanner has been defined yet, NAPS2 will ask for some details.
Enter a name (I just typed "Canon P-215"), check "SANE Driver", click the "Choose Device" button, and select your Cannon scanner.

These settings will be saved and you can multiple profiles, for the same scanner or even for different scanners.

Anyhoo -- click OK and you're good to go.

Notes:

- SANE is available for other platforms as well (primarily Linux of course).
- VueScan is a good commercial alternative - truly great for photo scanning (highly recommended), but personally I do not like it too much for document scanning.
- The buttons on the scanner are not functional with this approach - beats not working at all though.

Enter: SANE ... an open source project for scanners, which supports tons of older scanners, even models that never had macOS support.
Not only does the project support my beloved Fujitsu Fi-6130, but it also runs on macOS Intel and Apple Silicon.
At the time of this writing it runs very well on my Macbook Pro (M1, Sonoma).

I did find it not very obvious on how to install this, so I'm sharing the steps I did to get things going.

(I did start with my scanner hooked up to my Mac - not sure if it makes a difference)

1. Install the SANE Backend (aka "driver") on your Mac.

I've found some old binaries for manual install, but ended up using this HomeBrew formula:

brew install sane-backends

Note: If you do not have HomeBrew installed on your Mac, then execute this in Terminal (official documentation)

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install a SANE compatible front-end (aka "scanner application").

For this I used NAPS2, which a free and reasonable good and simple to use Scanner application that supports SANE. 
Download it, install it, and run it.

Once the window opens, press the "Scan" arrow/button:

Since no scanner has been defined yet, NAPS2 will ask for some details.
Enter a name (I just typed "Fujitsu Fi6130"), check "SANE Driver", click the "Choose Device" button, and select your Fujitsu scanner.

These settings will be saved and you can multiple profiles, for the same scanner or even for different scanners.
Now that I found this, I wonder how well my Canon P-215 works with SANE!! (Canon is listed in their supported devices).

Anyhoo -- click OK and you're good to go.

Notes:

- SANE is available for other platforms as well (primarily Linux of course).
- VueScan is a good commercial alternative - truly great for photo scanning (highly recommended), but personally I do not like it too much for document scanning.

I have an an external Toshiba 4tb hard drive where I had deleted a folder and an app that are now 0 byte undetleable files in the Trash with the message, "The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again." As I am the "owner" of the files & they are not locked, I started to suspect the drive. I ran Disk Utility and the drive will not unmount. I tried unmounting it with the Terminal and received a PID dissenter & killed that, and now have a messages that says, "failed to unmount: dissented by PID 58946 (/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Versions/A/Support/mds_stores) Dissenter parent PPID 1 (/sbin/launchd)" To be honest, this is now well beyond my skills and I found you! This started out as a mission to finally, somehow delete two 0 byte files from my Trash that I believe are being held by this drive I cannot fix and I am stuck. I would appreciate your help.

For example, we can open TextEdit with the following statement in Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal):

open /System/Applications/TextEdit.app

if we want to open another instance of TextEdit, then we can do that with:

open -n /System/Applications/TextEdit.app

It took me some time and effort to find the fix, but this worked for me:

We need to remove a few files from this directory:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

It affects these files (not all may be available on your Mac):

NetworkInterfaces-pre-upgrade-new-target.plist
NetworkInterfaces-pre-upgrade-source.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist.backup
com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
preferences-pre-upgrade-new-target.plist
preferences-pre-upgrade-source.plist
preferences.plist
preferences.plist.old

I copied them to a backup folder on my desktop, and then deleted them from the original location.

After that reboot your Mac.

In my case, WiFi worked and right away detected and connected to my WiFi network.

This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me.

As mentioned: not everybody is equally thrilled about this feature and this how you disable if to a specific device:

MacOS (Mac)

System Preferences -> General -> at the bottom uncheck “Allow Handoff between this mac and your iCloud devices”

iOS (iPhone/iPad)

Go to Settings -> General -> Airdrop & Handoff -> uncheck "Handoff"

(this works the same for ISO and IMG files as well)

hdiutil attach /path/to/your/diskimage.dmg

When the .dmg is mounted, a message will display something like this (not that hditul will try to use the dmg filename as the directory name it creates in /Volumes):

$ hdiutil attach diskimage.dmg                                                                                           9:49
Checksumming Gesamte Disk (Apple_HFS : 0)…

/dev/disk2          	                               	/Volumes/diskimage

Unmounting a DMG from the Terminal is just as easy:

hditul detach /Volumes/diskimage

hditul detach /dev/disk2

If you are not sure anymore what was mounted where, then try using this to see a list:

hdiutil info

This will output something like this (depending on your situation of course):

framework       : 623.100.1
driver          : 623.100.1

There is a manual fix for this, use at your own risk of course, but it worked for me on multiple Macs.

The steps to follow:

1. Turn off WiFi in the menu bar.
2. In case it's open: Make sure to close the System Preferences window.
3. In Finder, go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/  (in Finder, press ⌘ + Shift + G).
4. Copy these files to your Desktop, or any safe location, in case you'd like to put them back if things go sideways on you:
   
   Note: one or the other file may be missing on your system, which should not be a problem. My Mac Pro specifically missed "com.apple.network.identification.plist".
   
   

   com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
   com.apple.network.identification.plist
   com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
   NetworkInterfaces.plist
   preferences.plist

5. Now delete these files from their original location - you will have to enter your password to get permission to do so.
6. Reboot your Mac, and after reboot enable WiFi again ... and you should be good to go ...

The only thing you need to do is setting up an account (free) at VMware and then you can download VMWare Fusion Player 12 for free.
