I am trying to get xsane to work with the HP Smart Tank 5100. I can see and print from this printer. I am just having a problem with scanning/xsane. HPLIP is working just fine for printing. However, if I try to use xsane for scanning it sees the scanner but comes back with an error from HPLIP saying that the "Driver Plug-in Installation is required: HP Device requires proprietary plug-in which is missing. Click 'Next' to continue plug-in installation" Upon clicking 'Next', a new window for 'Driver Plug-in Installation' comes up and it has 3 options "Download and install the plug-in from an HP authorized server", "Select and install an existing local copy of the plug-in file", "Skip installation of the plug-in". Choosing option 1, generates errors. One error says the download is corrupt. A different error says "Failed to install Plug-in. Either you have chosen to skip the Plug-in installation or entered incorrect Password"
(The error from xsane says "Failed to open device `hpaio:/usr/Smart_Tank_5100_series?serial=TH53SBT2HJ': error during device I/O.)
If someone could point me to where I can get the driver plug-in, that would be a good start.
This is on FreeBSD 15.0 release.

My system running 15.0-RELEASE seems to still have an issue with finding the plugin. Does anyone have an HP smart tank system that is working with 15.0 and the current version of xsane?
