Sounds like the problem I had with my Epson USB scanner. I had to
change a file - don't remember exactly which file it was - but here on
my Red Hat 9 box it's /etc/sane.d/epson.conf. Yours would be hp.conf I
guess, not sure if it still lives in the same directory on FC.
Anyway, mine had a line like "scsi EPSON" with the line "usb
/dev/usb/scanner0" commented out. I swapped them, commenting out the
scsi line instead, and it worked. Your hp.conf probably has something
similar, so try taking a look at that to make sure sane is looking in
the right spot.
