Printing works. Scanning, however, only works as root, otherwise xsane says that there are no devices.

I have exactly the same printer. It is important that you are in both the *lp* and *scanner* groups to use the device. For administrative purposes, I believe, it is necessary to be in the *sys* group. Did you also check the sane configuration file to ensure the *hpaio* backend is enabled? I think it is in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf Regards, Neil Darlow
