Check the same file for the existance of "hpoj", I checked my own setup a=
t home
and found the following section at the end of the file

#
# The following backends are not included in the sane-backends distributi=
on
# If you want to use them, download them from their webpages and read the=
ir
# documentation
#
# HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/
# Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed:
hpoj

I uncommented the hpoj line previously, so it should start working if you=
 either
uncomment it or add it in. Looks like I was mistaken with the "hp", but I=
 do
know that to get hpoj + xsane working together I only had to make one cha=
nge and
then the scanimage -L command picked up the scanner.

The "scanimage -L" needs to be returning the right information before
continuing. Once the change above is made to the dll.conf file you should=
 have
proper access to the scanner ay which point I expect you will be given th=
e
option of which device to access.
