I know nothing about your scanner, but I know parallel scanners are supported.
At http://www.torque.net/parport/ppscsi.html is a patch available. With the
documentation at that webpage and the kernel-Howto you should be able to get
the modules made, installed and loaded. This is for the adapter.
You should check wat chipset this adapter uses and see if there is a module
included that supports that chipset.
