[sane-devel] Xsane can't find network scanner

[MR ZenWiz]

That said, I just ran xsane and it found the scanner and scanned a document.

So it appears that getting the latest hplip, installing it and then
installing the printer in CUPS was enough.

Strange that hp-setup couldn't find it at all.

Anyway, thanks everyone!
