Hi Roy-Anders,
I am the author of the (offical) umax backend and my backend does not
support parallel port scanners. I don't know about anyone who is writing
on a driver for the UMAX parallel port scanners.
The problem is that UMAX does not give out the parallel port scanner
protocol.
Just write to UMAX and ask for it, may be one day they will give it out
if enough people asked for it.
Bye
Oliver
