Hi theringmaster,
I have this command:

xsane -V $SANE_URI$

Or if you need a specific URI you can get it with hp-makeuri which is part of hplip package.

Try with increased verbosity to get more info on why it is not found:

Set the logging level:  -l<level> or --logging=<level>
<level>: none, info*, error, warn, debug (*default)
Run in debug mode:      -g (same as option: -ldebug)

[jeff@gnome-box ~]$ lsusb

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:009d Microsoft Corp.

there's my lsusb

[jeff@gnome-box ~]$ hp-makeuri -g 03f0:5c11

hp-makeuri[11638]: debug: Gethostbyname() failed. Trying other patterns...
hp-makeuri[11638]: debug: Trying USB with bus=0 dev=5...
hp-makeuri[11638]: debug: Not found.
error: Device not found

and here is my verbose output. I could only do the -g flag and not the -s and -g flag together because it would just say "device not found"

gethostbyname() should work if you add your hostname to /etc/hosts but I think this error is not important anyway.

It looks as it is not trying the right bus:
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 03f0:5c11 Hewlett-Packard
hp-makeuri[11638]: debug: Trying USB with bus=0 dev=5...

I don't know how to fix this though.

Anyway, I just checked my config, I have this as external scan command:
xsane -V %SANE_URI%
Notice the % signs instead of $

What about
scanimage -L
does it find your scanner? If not, check permissions (are you in scanner group) and enabled modules in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

using xsane -V %SANE_URI% works. It will open xsane and i can then begin to scan my image. The scanimage -L command gives me:

[jeff@gnome-box ~]$ scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/usb/Photosmart_C4200_series?serial=CN798MY12J04VP' is a Hewlett-Packard Photosmart_C4200_series all-in-one
