It works, but is exactly like xsane, it asks for the root password before finding the scanner :-(.
On the other hand, if I hit "cancel" instead of giving the password, it is still able to scan, so something strange is going on behind the scenes.

I no longer have an hp scanner or printer, so I removed libsane-hpaio and hplip and no longer get the $@!# root prompt in xsane or simple-scan
Awesome troubleshooting! :-)
