Summary     : HP OfficeJet low level driver infrastructure
Description :
The hpoj package adds support for most Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet, PSC, and
LaserJet all-in-one peripherals (also known as Multi-Function Peripherals
or MFPs), which can print, scan, copy, and (on some models) fax.
 
The HP-sponsored project is an work in progress, but printing, scanning,
and photo-card access are supported on most models, when either connected
to the parallel port or USB on a Linux workstation, or to a LAN with
selected HP JetDirect print servers.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hpoj-0.90

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -i hpoj
2. install an HP OfficeJet (may require a reboot so cups starts after hpoj --
see http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/hpoj-0.90/doc/setup-scan.html)
3. scanimage --list-devices

Actual Results:  on step #3, the results are:
[root@narf cups]# scanimage --list-devices
 
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).
[root@narf cups]#


Expected Results:  
It should have listed the device 'hpoj:mlc:usb:d145'


Additional info:

The problem is on the distribution, not on my system.
The library file libsane-hpoj.so.1 is missing from the RPM.
