I have a scanner that is seperate. It is not a scanner printer 
combination. It is an HP 2100C model flatbed scanner and works fine with 
the testing versions of the suggested programs installed.

Since I don't have a combination unit and do not know if there are 
seperate usb device nodes for the scanner and another for the printer or 
if they use the same usb node for each device. It makes more sense to me 
for the devices to have seperate nodes per device. Could it be that the 
node for the scanner portion is not being set to the right setting?

sane-backends-1.0.15-1.4
hotplug-2004_04_01-8.1
pam-0.77-66.1

Are the program versions that are supposed to get the permissions setup 
correctly? It looks like you have these versions installed from the 
addition to the bug report.

Sorry that this remedy couldn't fix your problem. It sounds like hpijs 
is not being loaded correctly. You might try searching bugzilla for 
multi-function device entries.
