Scan with HP PSC 500

Hi, 
 
I don't know if this problem has already been discussed, but I can't find 
it elsewhere. 
 
I'm trying to configure my HP PSC 500 All-in-one Parallel Port 
Printer/Scanner, printing works fine with CUPS and with Samba even my 
W2k-Box can print. What I haven't figured out yet, is how to configure it 
so I can also use the Scanner. In YaST I can only choose beetween USB and 
SCSI Scanners, and when I use "ptal-init setup" I get 
 
*** ptal-mlcd failed to start!  Check syslog file for error messages. 
 
syslog tells me this: 
 
Mar 30 17:43:47 linux ptal-mlcd: FATAL ERROR at ParPort.cpp:49, 
dev=, pid=6332, e=2, t=1112024627         Access denied to 
parallel port! 
 
Can anybody help solving this Problem???? How do I unlook the parallel 
port???? 
 
Thanx 
 
Kai 
 
 
P.S.: In case it matters, SuSE Linux Professional 9.2, Kernel 
2.6.8-24-default, CUPS 1.1.21-5, sane 1.0.1.14-5, hpoj 0.91-123.2
