FWIW, that is why I said "printer" in that when he runs hp-tool box it shows 
that no
printers are defined.
So, I'm attempting to get that rectified first.

Well, no need (as far as I've ever experienced) to write down the URI.

The HP 4620 is an "All in One" device and running the hp-setup will set up both 
the
Printer and the Fax.

After that, I have found, all I need do is either run xsane from hp-tool or 
manually and
it will pickup the URI.  That is, no need whatsoever to use a script.  I don't 
know, and
haven't researched, how xsane finds the URI.

I've never used the hp-scan command.   I'm quite happy with the GUI of xsane 
and the
ability to select either the flatbed or document feeder as well as the various 
output options.
