	Parallel port scanner support is very poor, primarily because
   UMAX(?) makes the parallel port chipset, and has been very reluctant
   to release their specs.

	You can search the archices at:

		http://www.mostang.com/sane/

   which is the SANE (Scanner Access Made Easy) home page (sane can be
   found in the /usr/ports/graphics directory as well), and search thier
   mailing list archives.

	SCSI scanners are fairly well supported, and there apprears to
    be growing USB support. Parallel supports, however, appears to be
    the next best thing to dead. Sorry.
