Not able to install scanner part of 'HP PSC 1410 all-in-one'[SOLVED]

Question

Despite trying instructions in the wiki, checking earlier reports of this problem on the forum and trying on reports from google, I am not able to install the scanner part of 'HP PSC 1410 all-in-one'.  The command 'sane-find-scanner' finds it but 'scanimage -L' does not. Also xsane and simple-scan program do not find it. Any help will be appreciated.
(I also tried these entries in the udev sane rules:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4d11", MODE="0664", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"   
"SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4d11", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#usbdev}; printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'", NAME="%c", MODE="0666", GROUP="scanner", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"
but they do not work).

Answer 1

Git was not installed. So I installed it and ran 'makepkg -s' again. It ended with following error:

Please note the line: Report bugs to <[email protected]>.   Is it a bug?  Sane-dev was successfully installed by others, eg: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65431
