Ok I tried that:
$ cat /etc/sane.d/hp.conf
scsi HP
usb 0x03f0 0x0101
#/dev/scanner
# uncomment this if you're using a usb scanner
/dev/usb/scanner0
option connect-device
Still same problem, and I still see the "usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout"
messages and xsane always fails with an I/O error.
"xscanimage hp" is having a few problems, too. If I try to do a preview
the preview image looks like it's missing a color and I get an I/O error
toward the end of the preview pass. I can select a small image area and
get a real scan and that looks fine, though.
I decided to reboot and I get about five or six "usb_control/bulk_msg:
timeout" messages during the boot process (the boot process pauses for
each message).
Then before sane will detect my scanner I have to remove/replace the USB
cable to the scanner one time. That is, it's not correctly loaded at boot
for some reason.
I'm starting to suspect the scanner. I guess this might turn into one of
those "What's a good scanner for Linux?" questions.
As a newbie it's hard to debug this stuff -- especially with so many
parts: USB, hotplug and sane. I don't really grasp how all the parts fit
together.
BTW -- I assume this is known. These are all generated each time I start
up the scanner program (10:32:2* is the time, if not obvious).
$ fgrep '10:32:2' /var/log/syslog | grep open_scanner | wc -l
465
