Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am trying to install my old Scanner in SUSE 9.1. The configuration is through the parallel port with the printer, as it used to be in old systems, but in SUSE YAst there is not chance to configure the scanner through a parallel port, only USB, Network or SCSI.
According to the Suse installation guides Linux can't work with a scanner connected that way. Sorry I think it is a case of either treating yourself to a newer scanner (connecting via usb) or forget it.
Check out http://www.buzzard.org.uk/jonathan/scanners.html for some info on various scanners that work. I have a Parallel scanner here at the office - an Agfa - and it won't work, they've abandoned their scanner business, but they STILL won't release protocol info to Linux developers, citing intellectual property issues. Bastards. If they abandoned the market, why won't they release the handshaking protocol? Even if they were still in the market, what intellectual property could be stolen by releasing the protocol?
