final piece of information: sane cannot open the HP all-in-one as a scanner 
with same error (getting serial id). However, my Nikon LS40-ED (a 35mm film 
scanner) works fine. So the problem is apparently not my installation or 
libusb.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b0 [Nikon], product=0x4000 [LS-40 ED]) at 
libusb:/dev/usb2:/dev/ugen1

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

The Nikon scanner works, the HP device fails to return serial id as above.
