Hi Tim,
please try two things:
1.: Use hp.conf with only one line
/dev/scanner
2.: Use
export SANE_DEBUG_HP=128
and run
(x)scanimage hp > hp.lis 2>&1
to get mor information where the backend might crash.
What version of the USB module are you using ? The support for HP4200C
is pretty new.
Please check with http://www.jump.net/~dnelson/linux/usb.
