Hi,
No luck, but .... (umax.FAQ):

Q: Will there be a support for the UMAX-parallel-port-scanners?

A: UMAX published their SCSI-protocol for scanners, but the
parallel-port- and the USB-protocol is not published until now.
Without such informations I will not work on a driver!

Martin Mevald <martinmv@penguin.cz> has worked on a driver but stopped
the development.

Bye
Oliver
