One thing I notice is that your scanner should be using the file
/proc/bus/usb/003/004, so change the permission of that file:
chmod a+w /proc/bus/usb/003/004
Have you updated to sane-backends-1.0.13-6 from
ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/sane-backends/ ?
After that package is updated, you will find a file
/etc/usb/libsane.usermap which will contain the correct information for
you to update the /etc/sane.d/hp.conf properly. The entry in that file
should be of the form
usb 0x____ 0x____.
If you don't understand some of this, ask again.
