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.
