The 600 II N is a parallel-port scanner.

Yes. YMMV, though.

Not with your scanner.
SANE does not yet have working support for the 600 II N. You're
somewhat in luck, as sane-0.67 does have the beginnings of Andreas's
parallel-port scanner support. However, that support is NOT complete
yet. Unless you want to work on the code, I'd recommend not to try
it. Warning: a bad driver CAN DAMAGE YOUR SCANNER. Having said that,
there is some documentation in sane-mustek(5) on how to setup the
parallel port support.
