The scanner is detected by sane-find-scanner? The hpusbscsi kernel
module is loaded? Permissions for /dev/sg0 (or whatever device you
use) are set up correctly? /dev/scanner does point to that device?

The scanner is SCSI-over-USB, that means, it uses the SCSI protocoll
internally. So it should show up as a SCSI scanner with
sane-find-scanner.

If it's detected by sane-find-scanner correctly, try setting the debug
varaibaled: export SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=255. Maybe you can find out
about the source of the problem.
