so it seems you have two problems: - wrong access permissions for parallel port - some timing issues when scanning For the first problem, there should be countless suggestions around. Maybe tweaking the right udev rule will do the trick. Or simply assigning you user to group "lp"... The second problem could be more tricky: Try export SANE_DEBUG_PLUSTEK_PP=10 then start xsane and show us the output. - Gerhard
