[sane-devel] HP officejet: access scanner over the network

[Wouter van Marle]

I tried running it as root already... and sane also can not find the 
scanner that way. It does take a few seconds to run though, 
interestingly. Running sane-find-scanner takes only a fraction of a 
scanner, and also then nothing found (but it seems that tool doesn't 
check network scanners).
