 Beginning with SANE-1.0.13, there's a backend called plustek_pp.
 This is for controlling Plustek parallel-port scanner and compatible
 devices. For a full listing, see plustek_pp.desc.
 
-This code formerly was available for creating the Linux kernelmodule
-pt_drv. This should no longer be necessary. You should be able to use
+This code formerly was available for creating the Linux kernel module

 the backend out of the box.

-The kernel module
------------------
-
-As it might be helpful to create and use the kernel-module, this way still
-exists. It's possible to create this module out of the backend sources
-in sane-backends/backend. Simply do (as root user)
-
-./MakeModule.sh
-
-Then the module should be compiled, installed and loaded.
-
-Add the following three lines to file /etc/modules.conf
-
-alias char-major-40	pt_drv
-pre-install pt_drv modprobe -k parport
-options pt_drv lampoff=180 warmup=15 port=0x378 lOffonEnd=0 mov=0 slowIO=1
-
-See man page for sane-plustek_pp ("man sane-plustek_pp") for explanation of
-these options.
-
-Now "scanimage -L" should show something like this:
-device `plustek:/dev/pt_drv' is a Plustek 9630P flatbed scanner
-
-
-Known Problems:
----------------
-
-Sometimes it is necessary to change the ioctl-interface between the
-driver and the backend, in this case the version number of the communication
-protocol will be changed and newer drivers won't work with older backends
-and vice versa.
-In this case (error -9019 in the SANE debug output!!) you have to recompile SANE
-AND the driver (have a look at the installation procedure above).
