[wellylug] Suggestions for Scanner

[Ilia Pavlenko]

www.sane-project.org - you'll need this software, and they also have a
compatibility list.

Just last week I was hooking up old Mustek 600-III-EPplus (parallel-port scanner) -
I found that latest SANE (1.0.13) was broken with this scanner,
but older version (1.0.9) works perfectly. So if you run into trouble -
try different versions... and different kernel configs.
