Does anyone use xsane and an HPOJ scanner to read photos under FC3?
Under FC1 my scanner operated fine, but the upgrade to FC3 seems to have knocked out the scanning functions.
I've checked the sane-project and xsane websites and they seem to indicate that just installing hpoj and configuring the OJ700 should make xsane see the scanner. However, sane/xsane just report no device available for scanning to me as both a normal user and as root. SELinux is in permissive mode so it doesn't seem to be a permissions problem.
Any hints appreciated!

I have also experienced this problem with xsane and HPOJ. It seems that scanning has broke since upgrade from FC2 to FC3.

Yes. It works fine here.

Is there a reason that libsane-hpoj doesn't get installed when one selects hpoj during install/upgrade?

probably a missing dependency
file a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com
Filed: #141527 low priority

The point about it being a separate package (without hpoj depending on it) is so that people who want to print, but not scan, can do so without having to install sane-backends and everything that entails.
Making hpoj depend on libsane-hpoj would defeat the entire object of it being a separate package. :-)
I've reassigned your bug report to 'comps', which contains information about which packages get installed in different circumstances in the installer.

I have used HP OfficeJets of one kind or another since RH9, and they've all worked. I am currently using a 7110 with FC3. For some reason, if you select the hpoj package during installation, the libsane-hpoj package doesn't get installed. So, check to see if you have libsane-hpoj installed, and if not, install it. Then, open /etc/sane.d/dll.conf in a text editor, scroll to the bottom, and uncomment the hpoj line. There are directions at the bottom of the dll.conf file.
I'm assuming you've done the whole ptal-init setup thing to have your device recognized already?

Yep, printing works fine through the ptal device. It was the missing libsane-hpoj! Thanks for the hint!
