  John,

  Thanks for offering to help. I'm just about to give up on this whole
  idea and just keep using xvscan.

  What do you mean by your scanner "somewhat" working???

  This is from a very recent "probe-scsi", nothing has changed hardware
  wise since then:

  ok probe-scsi
  Primary UltraSCSI bus:
  Target 1
  Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318416W 0010
  Target 3
  Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173LW 6246
  Target 4
  Unit 0 Removable Tape Seagate STT20000N 6A51
  Target 6
  Unit 0 Removable Read Only device PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W124TS1.05

  Removeable-Media/External SCSI bus:
  Target 2
  Unit 0 Processor HP C5110A 3701
  Target 4
  Unit 0 Removable Disk iomega jaz 1GB J.83
  ok

  I know it's target two which means the trailing letter should be a 'c'.
  I've tried using /dev/sg0c as well as /dev/sg1c with no difference.

  I check dll.conf and hp is in there and not commented out.
  My hp.conf file currently contains:
  scsi HP
  /dev/scg1c

  I've also tried /dev/scg0c. With the above scanimage -L gives me:

  This is getting really frustrating. According to the SANE docs both Solaris
  and the HP 5P are supported, I just don't understand why it just won't work!

  If you notice above, scanimage still thinks the file /dev/scg1c should
  exist when everybody tells me the last letter is just used by the program
  to determine which SCSI id should be used on that SCSI bus.
