Sorry, typo in my device line. "xsane" now works nicely - thanks!
Still not sure why the USB protocol fails, as the printer even calls
itself a "4100e" on the 'secret' pin code sticker inside the print
cartridge door, but happy to go with what works.
Thanks

Hi,
Your model is not yet supported by HPLIP.
Thanks. That's weird, though, as it's in the 4100 family and it has a
perfectly fine USB connection... which works fine for CUPS printing
and for Windoze scanning. Oh, you said "not yet", so there is hope
that it might work over USB someday?
HP DeskJet 4155e supports AirPrint and certainly AirScan
(https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c07062158#N66406).
But I guess HP wants us to do everything over WiFi, whether we like it
or not.
You have two options:
- use a recent version of sane-backends and enable the escl backend.
I'm working on this approach now (1.3.1). "Just a bit of
configuration". Just this entry in escl.conf
device http://192.168.43.160:443 "HP DeskJet 4155e"
$ scanimage -L
device `escl:http://192.168.43.160:443' is a HP DeskJet 4155e flatbed
or ADF scanner
$ scanimage > /tmp/id
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
scanimage: open of device escl:http://192.168.43.160:443 failed:

Any further guesses/help would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
