I have a Paperport OneTouch 5300 scanner. It is connected to one of he 2
parallel ports (the other being the printer). I downloaded the program XSANE
and compiled it successfully to scan some pictures. But running XSANE gives me
an error message saying 'no devices available'. I have the scanner turned on and
works perfectly fine in Winblows.
What is going wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thats because sane works only on scsi scanners. As far as I know there
is no parallel scanner support.

Currently there are no Visioneer drivers for Linux. I use a
Paperport 3100B. I wrote and asked Visioneer if they were
planning to support Linux. There answer was non-committal (i.e.
- "we're thinking about it"). Write/email them and ask them to
support Linux.
