This is the original HP ScanJet.

Yes, it needs an additional interface that looks a lot like a duplex
parallel interface but is not like today's enhanced PC parallel port.
Bob Niland <rjn_at_csn.net> has a canned FAQ that he posts to
comp.sys.hp.hardware whenever this question comes up there. If you
can webulate, you can find it pretty easily in DejaNews. Be advised
that the gist of said FAQ is "forget it, if it breaks it'll need
expensive fixing and is probably not worth your trouble."
