I had to resort to this after several USB scanners failed to work in my system's configuration (it seems like my printer driver was dis-allowing the USB to function properly- go figure). The USB is faster and a bit better than sharing the parallel port with my printer (a new printer now, but I still have the PP scanner). I don't know much about firewire.
