   hi Dmitry
   Thank you for your detailed reply, but in my case I'm quite sure that
   the problem is no with xsane, but at the system level, for the
   following reasons:

   1/ The other scanning programs don't find the scanner either
      (scanimage, simple-scan, hp-scan)

   2/ on my desktop, where the scanner works,  I don't have a snapscan directory

   3/ as I said, the scanner is seen and works via the web interface

   4/ I just discovered a more worrying thing:
      the hp utility hp-probe doesn't find any device (printer or scanner)
      On my desktop, "hp-probe -bnet" gives:

      hp:/net/Officejet_Pro_6830?ip=192.168.1.9  Officejet_Pro_6830  HPA48092

      and on the laptop:

      warning: No devices found on the 'net' bus

      As system-config-printer finds the device, I think that the problem
      is related to HP software, but I'm unable to find how...

best regards,
