I don�t know to much about Epson�s Spin, however, other scanners are
SCSI devices and will not work connected to a parallel port.  It may not
be the solution to your problem, but it may be worth looking into.

Probably SCSI ID addresses.  Not being familiar with the product though, 
I could be wrong.

Good luck Spin!
