100% CPU usage while scanning

If I use "Aquire" and scan something, I've got 100% CPU usage while scanning.
My scanner takes a long time for scanning, so that's annoying because I can't use other programs while scanning...

I've got an old scanner which is connected over parallel port (Primax Colorado Direct).

Has 100% CPU usage something to do with the parallel port ?

Yes perhaps...
