This hasn't helped me much, with my parallel port scanner. I have a Microtek e-3 plus, which is supported , but I can't get it recognized. Also, I can't get xscanimage as a drop-down option with gimp, either. I created a symlink to /usr/bin/xscanimage in my ~/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins directory, but it still doesn't show up in gimp. The docs make it look like it should be simple, but it isn't, so my guess is very few people have managed to get their parallel scanners working, and that's the reason for the lack of help on the subject.
