The 5P is used with sane by many persons.

- What do you have in /opt/local/etc/sane.d/hp.conf (or /usr/local/...,
there should be a link between /usr/local and /opt/local)?
The default /dev/scanner will not work. See README.Solaris.

- Did you have installed the SCHILYscg driver *before* "./configure"
and "make" SANE?
If not, you will have no SCSI support compiled in sane, because sane
needs /usr/include/sys/scsi/targets/scgio.h to determine the type
of SCSI driver to use.

- Check if you use the correct scsi driver. Some people had one of the
scsi include files tested by the sane configure in their /usr/include
tree and did not get the correct SCSI driver compiled in without
any warning.
You can do this with gdb or "set env SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI 128" before
starting scanimage (see frontend/.gdbinit how to do this). Send me
the output you get from this if you have still problems.
