[Linux-parport] ppscsi: epst with kernel 2.6.10

[Ed Murray]

Hi Jón,
	I have this scanner and confirm it works fine with 2.6.10. Try the patch that I have posted here:
http://www.avenuedesign.net/linux/ppscsi-patch.html

Make shore your scanner is turned on and connected before loading the epst module.
