Yes I have it working. The solution is pretty involved, because I upgraded
from kernel 2.0.35 to 2.1.122. Basically, the old ncr driver failed, when
invoking the scanner. The driver provided with the development kernels is
way better. Also, the latest development kernels are quite stable these
days, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I only had to iron out
some network related problems, because I'm using the dhcp protocol to
dynamically request an IP adress.

Hope this helps.
