i have a HP PSC 1315 and that works fine (after doing quite some
research) in ubuntu-linux with hplip & hpijs (not hpoj) installed

scanning works after adding the following line to
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf :

hpaio



and afaik with these devices you can also only scan if you have not
printed before and visa versa, otherwise you need to turn the
printer/scanner/copier off and on first
