Ok, I tried that. Unfortunately 'scanimage -L' still tells me I have
no sane devices.
I assume I place sane.conf in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/, and that it
is essentially a clone of epson.conf? I can't find any docs on this
either, nor any example sane.conf files.
Any idea on whether I need some form of SCSI support in the kernel for
this to work?
Btw, it works well under Win 3.1/95/98, but NT refuses to find it
through the parallell port.

I'll be happy to. Now all I have to do is get it to work ... :)
