Often Linux has support for some hardware before other vendors do, as
long as the specifications are available.  The problem with scanners
is that the SANE developers have a hard time getting the specs for a
large number of scanners, especially parallel scanners.

The SCSI and USB SnapScan scanners are supported well.  I have an Acer
620UT which works beautifully with the SnapScan USB driver under SANE.
Unfortunately the SnapScan homepage for SANE doesn't list any parallel
scanners.

There is a project to support parallel-SCSI devices, which may make it
possible to use a parallel SnapScan as a SCSI device, but that's just
a guess.

Parallel Port Scanners under Linux:
