Try going into the source and fudging qc_detect() so it always returns 
success.  The code that's in there at the moment is attempting to avoid false 
positives that would upset people's printers, but it does seem to fail to spot 
cameras that really are there some of the time.

What's really needed is the ability to say `insmod c-qcam parport=..' and have 
it try a little harder to find a camera where you told it to look.  
Alternatively if the IEEE1284 probe was done, it could believe the information 
returned from that.

I'll see if I can implement one or both of these sometime today.
