Hi,
thank you for that information. I suppose this will be quite interesting
for others on that list. I can not remember that someone has mentioned
this before
here.

I have never seen anything else than 'processor' for the scanner.
So I think this is not the problem. If you are working with the
hp-backend
that comes with SANE-1.00, you should have only a single line
in your /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf-file that says /dev/sga. If you
have
a line "scsi HP" in it, remove that line completely.
Then start "scanimage -d hp" or "xscanimage hp".

If the things above did not work, did you check the acess-permissions of
/dev/sga
(even if you run them as root) ?

If you have been successful in getting that backend running, you can try
to upgrade
to the current hp-backend from my homepage. This fixes the problem with
the
"scsi HP" line and some other bugs.
