It used to say

scsi HP
/dev/scanner

I deleted that first line, leaving only /dev/scanner, and now it works!
xscanimage with no options comes up with a checkbox for "hp".

With the original (two-line) config file, what I get with the above is
just:

[sanei_init_debug]: Setting debug level of hp to 10.
[hp] init called
[hp] scsi_new: open failed (Invalid argument)
[hp] scsi: Can't open scsi device
[hp] exit called

Lots more output with the one-line (working) version of the file, but I
assume you're not interested in that.

Anyway, thanks for the help, I've got things working now. If you want
more info from me to figure out what went wrong, let me know.
