Upgrade! ;] You can, with the Helix RPMs.

Visit the SANE and related pages, they have the list of supported
scanners. I would also check for pages about calibration, so you do no
buy one when a same price better one exists. HP looked fine last time
I checked, 6xxx IIRC. For example http://www.mostang.com/sane/ and
http://www.scarse.org/.
The best, IMO, SCSI, less problems in general. For them you will need
"count up to 16" (SCSI ID) and "begin, middle, end" (terminator)
Sesame Street episodes. They must be really rare episodes, cos nobody
seem to understand SCSI. ;P
Other option is USB, but you will have to fight kernel, possibly. The
worst idea is parallel, too slow, too many problems.
