There seems to be a crippled DB-25 SCSI connector that was introduced=20 by Apple which used the same plug as the PC parallel port (see=20 http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/scsi/cablesConnectors-c.html).=20 Are you sure you have the 1236S (SCSI) and not the 1236P (parallel=20 port) version? If it's the 1236P you're out of luck. The parallel=20 port protocol for this scanner is unknown so the scanner is not=20 supported by SANE. If you have the 1236S you need to get a SCSI controller that is=20 supported by Linux and connect your scanner to that. /Oliver --nextPart3676092.hI29GJBUPW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCIGuA/V6sbrmfIuMRAoBvAJ9VmkVfC58QTWXU+bpyaCIDuH/R6wCeIZiB GZwADuoZVZyppzj+NlbZYH4= =LjV+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3676092.hI29GJBUPW--
