   I have an hp 1100A which is a parallel printer+scanner
   I could print with no problem, but cannot scan
   the scanner does not appear with xsane

   With ubuntu, in order to scan, i had to chmod 666 /dev/parport
   and the scanner appeared.

   Any suggestion on how to use a parrallel scanner ?
   Running slitaz 3.0

   Thanks
   Christophe

   May be there is a much simpler way to do this, but this is what I did with my network attached hp printer/scanner.

   1. install cups
   2. install hplip
   3. run hp-setup to get hplip to configure the printer/scanner.

   Once hplip configures the printer/scanner xsane will be able to find it.

   Hope this helps.
