Hi Stef, thanks for the quick answer!
Hardware: ASUS A7V (VIA Chipset) with Athlon 1300, Scanner: UMAX Astra 2000P I assume the problem is due to ppdev on my 2.4.21 kernel (see the two different ppdiag outputs below). I have also seen your thread with Ryan Harkin (sorry, didn't see it before). I experience the exact same problems with the different modes (ECP/EPP, EPP ...). I also saw the discussion on linux-parport now. So you think this is due to the kernel? Any news on that side? If this hasn't been solved until now, will it eventually be solved in 2.6?
