Hello,

I have a Microtek ScanMaker V310 parallel port scanner and am trying to
figure out where to start to make this thing work. I realize that it is
not officially supported, but I don't even know what I need to do to try to
make it work. I have made the assumption that I need SCSI generic support
compiled into my kernel, and that's all I really know. I don't know how to
make the SCSI chain operate over the parallel port. I've compiled in
PARPORT and PARIDE and all the IDE protocol modules, as well as the
IDE-SCSI module. I've also compiled in the SCSI_PPA and SCSI_IMM modules.
Is this the way to go about it? I was unable to find any specific
information about what kernel support is needed by SANE.

I'm running the 1.0 debian package and find-scanner is reporting nothing
(except pnm devices) but I fear that it is not probing the parallel port at
all. lsmod shows no parallel port modules being loaded. Am I completely
going about this the wrong way or what?

Secondly, does anyone know anything about this scanner? I'm willing to put
in some time to get a driver coded if it's not supported and not too hard.
=)

Thanks,
Christopher
