Thanks for the input.  It looks like it is not supported on Mac OS X
10.5 at the moment, from all that I can gather.

nothing i can find about the hp4200 backend indicates that it supports
your machine. i think you need to see if the hpaio backend supports
this scanner, and if so, if that backend is available for your OS. it
comes not from sane, but from: hplip.sourceforge.net, IIRC.
