There is a driver being developed for linux in the ac kernels -> hpusbscsi

a) It presents the usb scanner as a scsi device.

b) I have only tried it with another scanner and (at least for my scanner) it 
seems that it is not perfect yet.

c) When that driver is operational the (modified?) avision backend should be 
able to support the scanner.
