Here is the script. It is executed by typing "scanner" at a
console. As memtioned, it will load the driver if it is not
loaded, or unload it if it already is loaded. Since the pt_drv.o
module needs to be installed at root, I use the sudo package to
intall it as a regular user (e.g. " sudo scanner" after sudo has
been updated to allow that user to run the script):
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< start of script scanner >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

/sbin/modprobe parport
rmmod lp
/sbin/modprobe pt_drv
scandrv=$(/sbin/lsmod | /bin/grep pt_drv)
echo ""
if [ "$scandrv" = "" ]
then
echo "Plustek scanner driver is not installed."
else
echo "Plustek scanner driver is installed."
fi
echo ""
else
/sbin/modprobe -r pt_drv
scandrv=$(/sbin/lsmod | /bin/grep pt_drv)
echo ""
if [ "$scandrv" = "" ]
then
echo "Plustek scanner driver is not installed."
else
echo "Plustek scanner driver is still installed."
fi
echo ""

you should be able to copy and past the lines between the <<<
>>> s (they are not part of the script).
