I don't really know what hplip installs where, but I'd guess that it installs
the sane backend hpaio for scanning, a cups filter for printing, and the hplips
toolbox which allows you to look at the status of the printer (ink levels etc).
I can tell I have hplips installed since it is in the desktop menu (In
settings). After installing hplip I could setup the printer from the menu:
Settings/Print settings, but I could not scan until I made the link described
below.
from MR ZenWiz 17/10/15
I show hpaio in the /usr/lib/sane directory as well, but not hplip.
How do I know if that is installed for sane? It is all over the place
elsewhere on this machine.
Thanks.

I recently set up a new HP aio device.
I found that hplip was installed with the sane backend hpaio in
/usr/lib/sane
whereas the rest of sane backends is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
so a made a new link called libsane-hpaio.so.1 in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane which points to the backend
/usr/lib/sane/libsane-hpaio.so.1.0.0
and that got my device working.
Alternatively, perhaps it's possible to configure hplip so it installs
the backend into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane ?

Alan,
Thanks, yes the hplip project lists the Envy 4500, but I'm pretty sure
I have that installed already.
I'll check again when I get to the machine tonight.

The Envy 4500 is not the same as the Scanjet 4500. This device is not
supported by our sane-backends. Try the hplip project, and see if
their sane driver covers it.

Xsane can't seem to find the scanner.
I've edited the /etc/sane.d/net.conf to this:

## net backend options

As far as I can tell, this require the hp5590 driver, which appears to
be installed on my machine:
mar@mar8710w:~ $ loc hp5590
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-hp5590.la
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-hp5590.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-hp5590.so.1.0.23
/usr/share/man/man5/sane-hp5590.5.gz
And the dll.conf has net and hp both uncommented.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
