Hi Gerhard,

I tried your new backend but with no success.

I have a OpticPro 9636P and scanimage -L tells the following (SPP, EPP, ECP 
and EPP+ECP mode, sometimes only with the second try, first one: no devices 
found):
device `plustek_pp:parport0' is a Plustek 600P/6000P parallel port flatbed 
scanner

I had the problem some times before and gave up. (You told me it could be a 
bad parport device, but now I have a new computer.)

Is there a chance to solve this with the new driver? Are there some special 
settings? Where do I have to do this? I forgot, how to enable debugging. 
Please tell me, what can I do to give you more information.

Best regards,
Ulrich
