I had the same scanner running on MDK 9.2 for awhile. The paraport
configuration is a Real Kludge. I just gave in and ran the #$@&! thing
under root (sudo). And, yes, thereafter remember to sudo chown/chmod
everything you scanned.
Then I found an Epson Perfection 1250 (USB) in a second hand thrift shop
for USD $2.50. Life has been smoother ever since.....
(It was hard to pay out the $2.50 for the Epson scanner -- because I
had gotten the Umax for free... :-)
