--> daisy-chaining might also be a problem...

But assuming, that this all worked for you in with RH7.3 it should be
okay.

Okay - so there is your problem! The access rights need to be tweaked for the parallel
port device.
Check 
ls -l /dev/parport*

you should have something like:
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      99,   0 2003-10-02 22:46 /dev/parport0

Hope this helps

Gerhard,
	Thanks for the reply but I'm still having problems.
	The permissions helped but the scanner is still not being found (whether 
running as root or any user) and the light still won't go off!.
	btw, kernel is 2.6.8-2-686 and the bios is set to EPP.
