IIRC, the only difficulty was that the second parallel port claimed to be
in EPP mode, when in fact it was still in SPP mode. Therefore the driver
throught 'ooh, good. Hold on, can't see scanner. Give up'

Moving it to /dev/lp0 worked first time of trying with the pt_drv.o
driver. Getting sane to work was trivial after that.
