I'm not sure but debian package libsane-extras contains hp3900 backend
version 0.6 which doesn't support your device. Current version (0.7)
does support it. There's available a rpm package for your distro at:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hp3900-series/hp3900-sane_bin_suse_0.7-2_i386.rpm?download

It's tested with official SANE packages provided by your distro and
works well.
