I dislike sounding so negative but a parallel port scanner is, afaik, very old technology. Some new scanners are so cheap, and supported by xsane..etc that the time/money you save by investing in a new scanner, usb, is worth the expense. If needed you can get a pci usb 2.0 card that works with Debian, and is fast. Parallel ports are relatively slow. -- Greg C.
