If you've compiled source code from CVS server scanimage should detect your device as "Hewlett-Packard Scanjet G2710 flatbed scanner" Maybe, binary for hp3900 backend has been installed in a different location (for example /usr/local/lib) and scanimage is just using the old version located in /usr/lib.
