Hello, A little digging got me a small step further: Mandriva comes with a backend for hpaio: libsane-hpaio it's called. Running scanimage in debug mode I see the hpaio backend being registered, but there is no configuration file or anything included in the rpm package. And scanimage -L still does not find the scanner (of course: I haven't told it which IP address to find this scanner).
Also I can not find a maillist for hplip or hpaio, and on the hplip pages it's all about printing, not scanning. Googling for libsane-hpaio also doesn't give any further information. Except one link where someone indicates his scanimage -L can find the networked scanner but no information on how that was configured :( Oh well if really no-one knows thsi here I may just have to get myself a 10-m long USB cable or so.
