The hpaio backend is a third party backend so it may be doing something
different but (some of) the sane-backends logging uses the syslog and
vsyslog C functions for its logging.  This means your syslog daemon
(mine's rsyslog) decides where it ends up based on the log message's
priority and facility.

As far as I'm concerned, it looks like you just swept your problem under
a rug.  Is your xsane built for the Slackware version you're using?  Is
whatever hplip/hpaio you are using built for the same?

Not that I have any experience with Slackware but the above messages
seem to indicate something's fairly badly amiss between the software
components you are using.  Of course, if you are happy with sweeping
your problems under a rug, you're all set.  Just be aware that things
may start to bite again whenever any of these are updated.

Hope this helps,
