As I understand it in sane.conf where you would put /dev/scanner
or whatever the device the scanner is hanging off you should put
the port number of the parallel port the scanner is on. Hence if
it is on parallel port one you would put 0x387, and 0x287 for
parallel port two.

In short no. If you get it working write it up and I will put a link
on my parallel port scanners page.
