I have downgraded the reportfrom grave to important because only 
scanning is affected, although scanning is a significant portion of the 
package there is more to HPLIP than scanning and none of those other 
functions appear to be affected.

A quick look through src/hplip-2.8.6 shows a couple uses of scan_read 
and no definition of the function, but there are many more uses of 
scan_hpaio_read which appears to be defined in scan/sane/hpaio.c---it 
looks like a name change was incompletely carried out.

My C and C->Python skills are a bit rusty so someone more knowledgeable 
should double check this finding.
