Yes as above HP page says 3.10.6 or newer required.
I installed 3.11.1 then 3.11.3

My other Epson scanner is Just a scanner, & works.  The HP is a
combi scanner + printer.  I'm just wondering if that might be a
problem to FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE, though I recognise that's not a valid
question for this sane list, so I'll ask on an @FreeBSD.org list.

Cheers,
Julian
