Hallo
i have read the site
http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/howtos/NewbiePlustekHowto/node13.html

For the driver to work properly, it might be necessary
to turn off the IEEE 1284 transfer mode for
the parallel port.

So i followed the instructions on this side, because i had problems with the 
driver. 
My parport menu looks like this:

  │ │     <M> Parallel port support                                       │ │
  │ │     <M>   PC-style hardware                                         │ │
  │ │     <M>     Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)                    │ │
  │ │     [*]     Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)                │ │
  │ │     [*]     SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)                  │ │
  │ │     <M>     Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports        │ │
  │ │     [*]   Support foreign hardware                                  │ │
  │ │     [*]   IEEE 1284 transfer modes

And the one on 
http://www.gjaeger.de/scanner/howtos/NewbiePlustekHowto/node13.html
like this:

  <M>  Parallel port support                                       
               <M>   PC-style hardware                                       
               [*]     Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)               
               [ ]     SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)                 
               [ ]   Support foreign hardware                                 
               [ ]   IEEE 1284 transfer modes   

Because my menu is not exactly the same i thought i should better ask the list 
before changing something important. 
Is it right, making the menu look like this:

│ │     <M> Parallel port support                                       │ │
  │ │     <M>   PC-style hardware                                         │ │
  │ │     <M>     Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)                    │ │
  │ │     [*]     Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)                │ │
  │ │     [ ]     SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)                  │ │
  │ │     <M>     Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports        │ │
  │ │     [ ]   Support foreign hardware                                  │ │
  │ │     [ ]   IEEE 1284 transfer modes

thx, Heiko.
