1.0.8 is quite old, 1.0.13 is current. Anyway, that scanner is not
supported by the SANE distribution but by the external hpoj backend so
it's the version of that backend that matters.

You need saned only if you want to scan over the network or if you
have a parallel port scanner that needs root priviledges otherwise.

"scanimage -L" as root should work even in the case of wrong
permissions.

Does sane-find-scanner find the scanner? Is "hpoj" mentioned in
dll.conf?
