My PSC2110 runs on FC1, it took awhile but reading man pages - 
sane,sane-usb,sane-dll helps. You can set up via :-

"ptal-init setup" or "service hpoj setup"

  they both do the same thing.Check if 'lsmod' shows "scanner" "printer" 
if none of these use 'modprobe scanner'on mine I got the "cannot find 
module" and the module is in /lib/module/*/drivers/kernel/usb,"printer" 
is loaded in mine and I found that "libusb" and /etc/fstab/usbdevfs is 
mounted [see man sane-usb].

It takes persistence but it does work and well,my problem is flesh 
colour and enlarge/reduce in photos.

Have fun   david
