sane

hi all im trying to get my HP Photosmart C4200 (all in one) scanner to work.
i installed sane and when i run sane-find-scanner it returns:

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x5c11 [Photosmart C4200 series]) at libusb:001:003

but when i run scanimage -L i get:

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

what should i do?

Re: sane

IIRC you need to uncomment hpaio option in the /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file.

Take a look at this thread.

Re: sane

i added myself to the group scanner but still no dice.

even tried chmoding / owning /var/lock/sane
