Well, I used hp tools in 5.4 and 5.5 and they always worked flawlessly.
So it seems related to my update to current...

Maybe relate, maybe not: now xsane (and scanimage -L) are much more slow
in startup, during the "Scan for devices" phase, even if the
configuration has not been changed (and they used to start instantly
when launched through hp-systray GUI).

I really don't know if all these observations make any sense...

Let me know.
