Although I have /dev/lp0 and /dev/par0, I don't have /dev/parport0 
either.  The first two are device major number 6 and the last is major 
number 99.  So my guess is you have to make a device node for it (and 
perhaps fiddle to get the ppdev module loaded).

Did you look at:

It seems to have plenty of advice about setting configs and reading 
debug output to understand the problem.  (First hit on google for 
scanner parport0, BTW).
