I have that driver. When installed (under gentoo) the line hpaio is appended to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf > For example see > http://hplip.sourceforge.net/troubleshooting/network.html This talks about general connectivity and printing.

You are certainly correct that I am likely in error messing with net since that is for a server. I just read a few more docs (thanks for the reference) and they all refer to a scanner that is attached (often via usb) to a host. However, in my case the scanner *is* the host. That is, the hp7310 is a network device. The hp7130 has a url on our lan (namely 192.168.1.50). I can ping that url, I can print to it (via cups), but I guess my question is "How do I tell the scan client that the scanner is a network device with address 192.168.1.50?" Thanks, allan
