[solved] my scanner is not being picked up by xsane

when I run sane-find-scanner, my scanner is seen (the DeskJet)

found USB scanner (vendor=0x046d, product=0x08da) at libusb:008:003
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0x8c11 [Deskjet F4500 series]) at libusb:002:002

However, scanimage -L (and xsane) don't see it

# scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video1' is a Noname USB Camera (046d:08da) virtual device
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Expert virtual device

what am i missing?

Did you install hplip?
Did you run hp-setup (from terminal)?
Did you enable hpaio in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf?

The wiki is probably of help for you:http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Scanner
