Check the same file for the existance of "hpoj", I checked my own setup at home
and found the following section at the end of the file

#
# The following backends are not included in the sane-backends distribution
# If you want to use them, download them from their webpages and read their
# documentation
#
# HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/
# Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed:
hpoj

I uncommented the hpoj line previously, so it should start working if you either
uncomment it or add it in. Looks like I was mistaken with the "hp", but I do
know that to get hpoj + xsane working together I only had to make one change and
then the scanimage -L command picked up the scanner.

The "scanimage -L" needs to be returning the right information before
continuing. Once the change above is made to the dll.conf file you should have
proper access to the scanner ay which point I expect you will be given the
option of which device to access.
