A couple of issues come to mind with this post:
1) The Paperport Vx scanner is built for Macintosh/Apple computers
and if that is the system you are using this whole question is
OFF TOPIC.
2) If in fact you have attached the VX scanner to a PC/IBM based
system, this scanner uses a SCSI card and not a LPT/parallel
port. In other words the scanner's card is not compatible with
your printer port.
I believe we need a little clairification on this question. Please tell
us what Operating System you are using and have you varified in
your user manual for the scanner if it is indeed a parallel port attached
scanner? We need a bit more information to in order to assist you.
