As you already noticed, software that you compile and install
manually, puts its files into /usr/local. So you'll find the
configuration files for SANE in /usr/local/etc/sane.d/ .

And your scanner is supported by the avision backend, not by the hp
backend. Maybe confusing, but blame the manufacturers :-)

As you scanner is detected I don't think it's necessary to change any
config file.

Do not ever do this. /dev/scanner is for SCSI scanners only.

Ok. It's a bit suspcicious that it didn't work out of the box. The
original SANE from your distribution was removed before that?

Concerning the inverted images, Rene has already answered.
