Sane works with some parallel port scanners (mostly Microtek, I recall).
However, it is possible it will work with yours with some effort if yours
is not a listed device. Most parallel port scanners are really scsi
scanners with a special cable and drivers. Therefore, if you can find a
parallel-scsi driver for linux (check out the stuff for removeable drives,
I think I saw one somewhere) it may actually work (configure the driver as
a general scsi driver, and then use Sane to access the scsi port). Don't
know how easy this would be, but it seems to be logical. Anyone else?
