Hi Sane people,
Is "HP Deskjet 2050 special edition" supported ?

I've been trying on FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE, with sane-backends-1.0.21_2
+ guidance from 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/scanners.html

I can see & use another scanner (Epson Perfection 1260)

I've been doing some comparisons with both scanners alternately plugged in:

grep ugen /var/log/messages
        ugen1.3: <EPSON> at usbus1

        ugen1.3: <HP> at usbus1

su ; sane-find-scanner -q
	found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x011d
	[EPSON Scanner] , chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen1.3

	found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x8711
	[Deskjet 2050 J510 series]) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen1.3

ls -l /dev/pass*
        crw-------  1 root  operator    0, 141 May 11 19:07 /dev/pass0
        crw-------  1 root  operator    0, 121 May  3 15:50 /dev/pass0

su ; scanimage -L
	device `plustek:libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen1.3' is a Epson
	Perfection 1260 /Photo flatbed scanner

	No scanners were identified.

I've tried adding extra dummy lines in 
	sane-backends-1.0.21/tools/hal/libsane.fdi
	sane-backends-1.0.21/tools/hotplug/libsane.usermap
	sane-backends-1.0.21/tools/udev/libsane.rules

but no luck.

PS Hplip claims to support it:

http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet_aio/deskjet_2050_j510_series
.html

        Model Name              = HP Deskjet 2050 j510 All-in-one Printer
        Min. HPLIP Version      = 3.10.6        
			FreeBSD-8.2 installs print/hplip 3.11.1,
			FreeBSD-current installs 3.11.3

Cheers,
Julian
