Results of troubleshooting so far:
1.  backends-1.0.15 as released--vertical color bars in preview and 
image rotated 45 degrees on scan

2.  backends-1.0.15 with latest posted build of avision--scanner bar 
does not move

3.  backends-1.0.14 will not find scanner (libusb vs hpusbscsi?)

4.  scanner works with vuescan

I've researched the documentation, mailing lists and forums and have 
tried every trouble shooting technique that I think applies.  The 
results are the same.  I've gone as far as I can with my current 
knowlege level.  I am in need of help.

I would be more than happy to post a "debug" log, or sections of it, if 
anyone would ask for it.

Thanks,

Dan
