Where would I ask if anyone has any linux hardware to sell - need a parallel port scanner (UK). GSO
I don't think anyone makes a Linux-only parallel port scanner. You will probably have to get one of the standard scanners made for other OSes and make it work under Linux. The SANE package supports a wide range of scanners.
Your best bet is to go the the SANE homepage and browse through the list of supported scanners and pick one that uses "parport" if you specifically want a parallel port scanner. I happen to have one up & running here... a HP 3200C (relabled UMAX 1220). The SANE homepage is:
