There seems to be a crippled DB-25 SCSI connector that was introduced=20
by Apple which used the same plug as the PC parallel port (see=20
http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/if/scsi/cablesConnectors-c.html).=20

Are you sure you have the 1236S (SCSI) and not the 1236P (parallel=20
port) version?  If it's the 1236P you're out of luck. The parallel=20
port protocol for this scanner is unknown so the scanner is not=20
supported by SANE.

If you have the 1236S you need to get a SCSI controller that is=20
supported by Linux and connect your scanner to that.
