I sent this a few days ago, but noone responded. And i have a little more
info now..

I've tried using the sane-epson backend, but it simply hangs (needs a
kill -9 to stop it), catting from /dev/lp1 once turns off the 'Ready'
light, catting a second time results in an IO error. catting to /dev/lp1
appears to work fine, except pressing Ctrl-D doesnt exit.. I'm not entirly
sure that the epson backend isn't just treating it like a SCSI scanner,
even though it appears to have parallel support in it - if i remove the
code for setting 'is_scsi' and set it to 0, it instead says
'scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument'... So, I dunno.
