If you don't specify a particular backend:device combination on the command
line, xscanimage will load all the enabled backends and ask them what devices
are available. When the snapscan backend gets loaded and finds that
/dev/scanner
has an HP on it instead of what it expects, it writes out those messages.

You should be able to get rid of this by commenting out the "snapscan" line in
<installation directory>/etc/sane.d/dll.conf. The snapscan backend won't get
loaded then and you won't see those messages.
