My idea was to concentrate on the usb scanners that can be accessed using the 
hpusbscsi driver. This would "only" imply extending the commands that are 
used and debugging/improving the hpusbscsi driver. 

A parallel port scanner (probably) is a different subject.

For your scanner perhaps you should contact the "SANE Backend for Avision 
parport scanner" project in sourceforge.
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/av260c/). 

Oops... I just saw the name of the project admin. Sorry ;-)

What is the opinion of those with experience on the subject? Is the info that 
Raymond has enough to go forward with a driver?

In the avision backend or in a new avision-pp backend?
