I saved it as .sh file, and chmod +x. Am I doing something wrong?
I think you did it right. You can copy-paste the script in the console, or save it to an sh file and run it later. In this case, better start the file with the "#!/bin/bash" line (without the quotes).

About why it didn't return any result for you, I would try to look for simpler words in lowercase ("grep -i" is case insensitive) and avoid special characters (like underscore "_"). For instance, change the first line of the script to any of these ones:

grep -i "deskjet" $(
grep -i "3050" $(
grep -i "j610" $(

If that doesn't return any result, you still can try to have a look to the whole (large!) list of files opened by scanimage and see if any of them draws your attention:

Code:
 for i in $(strace -f scanimage -L 2>&1 | grep 'open(' | sed 's/^[^"]*"//' | sed 's/"[^"]*$//')
 do
  if [ -f $i ]
  then
   echo $i
  fi
 done
Good luck.

Thanks, I will tinker with query to see if I can nail down some results!

Kind Regards,

The script runs "scanimage -L" with strace (a tool to trace all the system calls) and filters only those calls that open files. Then it filters only "regular files" (not device files in /dev).
When coming back to your script after a few hours break, I realized that I may not have the strace tool installed on my Debian stretch laptop system! A quick check in synaptic and an apt-get install strace, followed by executing the script using j610 yielded these results:

Code:
~$ ./hpscanner_ghost.sh 
/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat:[deskjet_3050_j610_series]
/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat:model1=HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series
/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat:[deskjet_3050_j610_series]
/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat:model1=HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series
/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat:[deskjet_3050_j610_series]
/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat:model1=HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series
Taking a look at "/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat reveals only one entry for the model ...

Not sure what to do next ...!

So, turns out both scanner entries for the HP-3050-J610a function when selected in Simple Scan or Xsane apps ... not sure why the duplicate device, but either one works, so I suppose I can deal with the minor annoyance of the same scanner listed twice!
