so, as long as i don't have anything else installed, their driver
works... only on the command line with scanimage, so far.

the problem i have is my HP printer doesn't work any longer, since
hplip/hpijs depends on libsane.  their driver installs itself as libsane
but, for some reason, it isn't recognized: when i go to install hpijs,
it still wants to install libsane from the repositories.  doubtful it
would work anyway, as their driver probably doesn't provide whatever
hpijs/hplip need.

i tried doing this but couldn't get xsane to work:

$ pwd
/home/scar/src/libsane_1.0.19-1_i386
$ sudo cp -r usr/lib/* /usr/lib
$ scanimage -L
scanimage: error while loading shared libraries: libsane.so.1: wrong ELF
class: ELFCLASS32
$ usr/bin/scanimage -L

i really would like to be able to use xsane, my hp printer, and also at
least the plustek backened for my other, canon scanner.  what is it
going to take?  are we back to writing our own driver?
