Well, the problem is that a scanner does not have enough resolution to
scan the reduced microfiche images. The only way to get a good print is to
optically enlarge them (which is part of the printing process), then scan
the enlarged version.

It's not possible to scan fiche directly (or
so I've been told/shown). You
first have to use a fiche printer (not cheap), then scan the paper copy. I
may end up buying a fiche printer later this year if things work out. I
had planned to buy one by mid this year, but looks like I won't be able
to.
How about using something like a (photograph) slide scanner type
setup? I would say just try it. Maybe you would have to do a quick
tweak in PhotoShop, but that would probably be easier than printing
first.
