I am currently using a 7110 with FC3. For some reason, if you select the hpoj package during installation, the libsane-hpoj package doesn't get installed. So, check to see if you have libsane-hpoj installed, and if not, install it. Then, open /etc/sane.d/dll.conf in a text editor, scroll to the bottom, and uncomment the hpoj line. There are directions at the bottom of the dll.conf file. I'm assuming you've done the whole ptal-init setup thing to have your device recognized already? -P
