HP PSC2175 scanning
I have a HP PSC2175 all-in-one. I *was* able to scan with it with The Gimp under MDK10.0. I've upgraded to MDK10.1 (both official), and am now unable to scan, and can only "sort of" find it using "sane-find-scanner".
I recall the 10.0 did not scan "out-of-the-box" either, and someone, somewhere gave me something simple to do to get it to run. Unfortunately, not only can I not remember what that simple trick was, but I can no reference to it here, or the other forums I haunt.
When I say it "sort of" finds it... This is what I get when I run sane-find-scanner:
[karl@localhost karl]# sane-find-scanner
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [Hewlett-Packard], product=0x2b11 [PSC 2170 Series]) at libusb:002:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.

IIRC, this printer does not need sane to scan, nor does sane (at least directly) support it. It uses HPOJ, a driver supplied by HP to run the scanner.
If anyone can provide some guidance, it would be appreciated.
