Try building sane-backends without libusb support. My epson
scanner works fine without libusb, and it's one less dependancy. If you
try this, you should change /usr/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf to something
like:

usb /dev/uscanner0

According to the sane-hp(5) manual page, you could also try the
"dumb-read" option.

If you want to use your scanner as a normal user, there are some tips on
my freebsd page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/

HTH,

Roland
