Bug Description
Binary package hint: hplip
HPLIP driver included in Dapper (0.9.7) is outdated and has problems with scanning specially with the last printers.
On official HPLIP website http://
Strictly relating to my experience with a HP OfficeJet 7310 connected via network link, with Dapper included 0.9.7 driver I wasn't able to scan documents since scanner wasn't recognized. After removing them and installing lastest 1.6.6a, I'm able to scan and XSane works flawlessy.

Look at 'bug' #51573. Hopefully HPLIP will be backported soon.
