As far as I know nobody ever got an Acer, Benq or Agfa scanner to work=20
with the snapscan backend. I can't say for Acer/Benq, but at least=20
Agfa seems to use it's own proprietary Parallel-SCSI adapter.=20

There is no documentation available for it, so the only chance would=20
be reverse-engineering the parallel port protocol using a logic=20
analyzer.
