If you don't have a scanner in a HP all-in-one device which needs the hpoj or hpaio backend, disable them in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf In generral it is a good idea to have only those backends enabled in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf which you actually need because otherwise all other backends would be also started to let them probe for their scanners which only wastes resources and sometimes even causes problems (like yours).
