John,
The sane-mustek.5 notes say: "The only non-SCSI scanner that has some
support at this point is the 600 11N scanner which comes with its own
parallel port adapter (i.e., it does not attach to the printer port)."
I guess "some support"= not very much since I can't find the files
needed. She who must be obeyed says it's my present scanner or nothing!
Thanks.
