Bug Description
When attempting to scan from an HP OfficeJet 6300 via network using hp-scan or SANE, the drivers appear to try and access libusb which isn't able to initialise as there are no usb devices attached to this Virtual Machine. This causes a segmentation fault and the scan fails.
This also happens when running hp-check. hp-setup works fine and installs the printer/scanner and fax printer.
OS: Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS 32 bit
VM Hypervisor: XenServer 6.1

Have just found a workaround for this - install the usbip client which installs a virtual usb bus.
Instructions: http:// www.howtoforge. com/how- to-set- up-a-usb- over-ip- server- and-client- with-ubuntu- 10.04-p2 (only need to install the package and modprobe it and add it to /etc/modules)
