The scanner worked fine for me in 8 bit mode and it should also theoretically 
work in 12 bit mode, though I never managed to.

You must use a recent version of sane, with libusb, which doesn't need the 
hpusbscsi module. if it is loaded you must remove it with

$ rmmod hpusbscsi

In order to facilitate debuging please do (in sh/bash)
$ export SANE_DEBUG_AVISION=7
or (in csh/tcsh)
$ setenv SANE_DEBUG_AVISION 7

before scanning.

You can find the sources for the latest version of the avision backend (which 
is the one used by the scanner) and about compiling at
