First, thanks to those who responded to my help request.<br>

By name, but only one was used, because ...<br>

This was my fundamental problem: I had *$&amp;^ed-up the soft links to my<br>
'/dev/sg*' files, and bot logical devices were pointing at the same<br>
special device.<br>
<p>
The whole, gorey story, in case it proves helpful: First, I decided to<br>
upgrade to SANE 1.00 and the just-released sane-hp-0.72. I therefore did a<br>
systematic removal of all 0.73-installed files, then: <br>
<p>
as 'su':<br>
1. Unpacked the sane-1.00.tar.gz<br>
2. Unpacked sane-1.00.hp.0.72.tar.gz into /usr/src/sane-1.00/<br>
3. Did _not_ run 'patch.hp' -- Should I have run this?<br>
4. Ran './configure --prefix=/usr/local' --&gt; specifying 'prefix' _was_<br>
needed, at least for my Linux 2.0.35/gcc.2.7.2.1 setup.<br>
5. Ran 'make &gt; ../sane_build_log 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;' and<br>
'make install &gt; ../sane_install_log 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;'<br>
(I have a question on warnings re: 'strndup' usage, and will be<br>
happy to share the build logs with anyone willing to look.),<br>
ran 'make install' in ./doc and manually installed tools I wanted.<br>
6. Linked /dev/sga and /dev/sgb to /dev/sheetscan and /dev/photoscan, and<br>
edited dll.conf and hp.conf appropriately (inactivating 'scsi HP').<br>
as myself:<br>
7. Ran 'rm -rf ~/.gimp' and changed ownership of all of '~/ .sane/*' to<br>
myself (for some reason, some were 'root' owned).<br>
<p>
Now it runs very well and properly selects either scanner.<br>
<p>
Thanks also to the 'sane-hp' developer(s) - this is really very functional<br>
and a great step forward over the backend in SANE-0.73.<br>
<p>
The question on Linux's success in distinguishing 'sga' and 'sgb' was not<br>
an issue -- find-scanner, scanimage -L, xscanimage, etc. all seem to work<br>
fine. <br>
<p>
Thanks again to all who answered.<br>
