USB and the hpusbscsi SCSI emulation seem to work properly. Good.

Your scanner is partially supported by the avision backend. In the
1.0.7 you have to enable the HP USB support in the backend by
specifiing optionb "allow-usb" in the
$instll-prefix/etx/sane.d/avision.conf file. This is because of the
alpha-state of the code. (For the exact spelling of the option you
might take a look in the sane-avision man-page ...)

For more info see:

and for the latest code:

I recommend the latest source from the side - which should work quite
well for you scanner - and you do not need the allow-usb option
anymore ...
