As far as I know, sane will only support SCSI scanners, as SCSI is a published
<BR>
standard, whereas most Parallel devices use a proprietary protocol. Some
<BR>
parallel devices may be reverse-engineered, but very few. If you are buying a
<BR>
scanner, SCSI is the way to go to ensure compatibility. You still want to check
<BR>
the list of back-ends for more compatibility issues. If your PC does not have
<BR>
built-in SCSI, most scanners come with a scsi card, although it may be a cheap
<BR>
one. I know my AGFA scanner came with a SCSI card, but it was a cheap one that
<BR>
has little Linux support, so I used the on-board SCSI in my PC instead. This
<BR>
worked a treat!
<BR>
<P>I'm only new to Linux myself, and just got my scanner working last week, but
<BR>
this is what I DO know, so I thought I'd share.
<BR>
<P>Share and Enjoy!
