HP Officejet 5110

I have recently bought this all-in-one printer + scanner etc. and I am trying 
to use it under Linux (Mandriva LE 2005). I follwed the instruction I found 
at 

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-OfficeJet_5110

and I am using HPIJS 2.1.1. Printing is basically OK, but scanning is still a 
dream (under Windows it's all right, so no hardware problem).

The abovementioned page says:

Scanning works using the HPOJ  low-level driver together with its SANE  
backend "hpoj".

The problem is that scanimage -L returns "No scanners were identified." ( even 
if I run the command as root), so I think that the scanner is simply not 
seen. Also trying with GUI tools, as Mandrake drakscanner, does not find the 
scanner.

Other info:
(1) at /etcsane.d ther is not a configuration file for my scanner. Witing a 
conf file is mandatory or does SANE read a default file?
(2) the dll.conf file has these lines:
# HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/
# Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed:
hpoj
niash
hp_rts88xx
hpaio

I have also these files:
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so.1
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpoj.so.1.0
/usr/lib/libhpojip.so.0
/usr/lib/libhpojip.so.0.1
/usr/lib/libsane-hpoj.so
/usr/lib/libsane-hpoj.so.1
/usr/lib/libsane-hpoj.so.1.0

Is it all right?

Maybe it's a mistake to use both HPOJ and HPIJS: the hpoj page at sourceforge 
says: "HPOJ and HPLIP can co-exist on the same PC, but they cannot access the 
same device".

Can I ask for your help? I tried also in other lists, but had very limited 
success...

Best regards from Italy,
