Progress.... kind of :-/

I set SANE_BACKENDS to hp, and was able to compile the sane-backends package.

Two files were changed and flagged via etc-update.

The first was /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, which added a bunch of scanners and
commented out hpoj. Since hpoj is part of the hplip package, and I have this
package installed, I deleted the comment character to enable this dll

The second file was /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap
The PSC 750 usb entry was deleted, so I added this back in
# Hewlett-Packard PSC-750
libusbscanner 0x0003 0x03f0 0x1411 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00000000

Unfortunately, sane can no longer find my scanner, even after restarting
hotplug.

Any assistance gratefully received.

Thanks

Jeff
