	Hello,

	support for the HP2400 is in the process to be added in the next release of 
SANE. You can have mode details in the sane-devel mailing list archive. 
Current status is that 300 dpi scans work, and other modes will follow soon.
	The Gtk warnings are harmless and more related to xsane than to the backend.
	For the permission problem (ie scanner detected only as root), you have to 
make sure udev rules handle your scanner and you user account has the 
corresponding group (usually 'scanner') in his list. Fixing it is often 
distribution specific, and you might find better help in fedora's forum (I'm 
using slackware, so I can't help that much).
	If you can log USB activity of your scanner under windows with USBSniff, I'd 
be interested by 50, 100, 150, 600 and 1200 scans. I can provide you with more 
details if you feel you can do it.

Regards,
	Stef
