Latest version (2.8.6b) downloaded and installed (same problem with 2.8.6) on Ubuntu 8.04 (same problem on 6.06).
Printer installs and prints OK but when attempting to scan Xsane displays an error dialog with the message Failed to start scanner, device busy.
Here is output of hp-check -t:

This is what appears to be the relevant info from /var/log/messages:
xsane: failed to open scan channel: scan/sane/pml.c 631
HP-check includes a message about scanext but this is less than useful - I've reinstalled this & previous version several times on various occasions but how do I ensure "proper installation"?
