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HPLIP driver included in Dapper (0.9.7) is outdated and has problems with scanning specially with the last printers.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://hplip.sourceforge.net/ is available 1.6.6a version.
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.

thanks for the bug report. the new version should be available for edgy, and maybe dapper (low probability). closing as duplicate.
