Some more results:

sane-find-scanner

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x8f11 [Photosmart Prem 
C310 series]) at libusb:007:005
   # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be

There is no man page for hpaio.

[root@canopus lcl]# scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

So the problem seems to be that sane needs to be forced to use the
hpaio backend.  How to do that?  I imagine it is something like

xsane hpaio:/dev/what

but what is "what"?  There is no /dev/scanner* or /dev/usbscanner*

The system works fine with an Epson Perfection scanner on USB and uses
module scanner.
