I just got a message from someone who opened his HP5400 and checked
the chipset. It contains a niash00033 chip.
Similar chips are also used in the the Hewlett-Packard HP3300c (
niash00012, niash00013, niash00014), Agfa Snapscan touch (niash00014),
Hewlett-Packard HP3400c (niash00019) and Hewlett-Packard HP4300c
(niash00019).

I'm working on a backend for the HP3300c, see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend
Although you may be able to use the hp3300 testtool to switch the
scanner lamp on and off, you will most probably not be able to
scan anything yet.
