I have not seen such a behavior up to now. Sounds quite strange. At
least it
should work under Windows.
You could try to write a carrige-move-back-only program. Have
a look at the code.
Just some remarks about the "bad capacitance discharge effect". You
should unplug even the parallel port cable. I have seen the scanner
working with no real power supply as long as you don't turn on or move
the lamp. It gets the power from the computer over the paralell port.
