I have an hp L7688 all in one printer/scanner/fax on my network. I am running Debian testing on my computer. I have been able to control the scanner in this printer for years from my computer - it always works out of the box by installing hpaio, which I have done on several other machines. Recently, probably due to an update/upgrade dance (?), xsane no longer recognizes the scanner; it only finds my video camera (which it found since first installing the camers with the scanner). hpaio and xsane-hpaio are installed (the backends for this printer/scanner). When I run scanimage -L, only the video camera is found. Anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot what packages are missing so I can get my scanner back?

There seems to be a backend dependency for this:

verify with sanimage -L
