Scanner on solaris HELP!!!!

807559Aug 16 2006
I am running Solaris 10 6/06 and have installed the companion cd as well as someother things (Quake II, QEMU for example). I am trying to set up a USB HP office Jet 5500 all-in-one series. I set it up as a printer but i cant set up the scanner functions. I run the following commands and get the following output:

# /opt/sfw/bin/sane-find-scanner

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [hp], product=0x3a11 [officejet 5500 series]) at libusb:/dev/usb:3f0.3a11/0
found USB scanner (vendor=0x046d, product=0x0921, chip=ICM532B) at libusb:/dev/usb:46d.921/0
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

# Not checking for parallel port scanners.

# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
# /opt/sfw/bin/scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

As you can see SANE can find the scanner from 'sane-find-scanner' but does not recognize it with 'scanimage -L'. I would greatly appriate any assistance and thank you for reading this.
