HP 5p does indeed have a power button (matter of fact it's about two
feet from my nose at the moment).  If you have booted the computer with
the scanner already turned on, I would suggest totally deleting the
software (Including registry entries (please back it up first ;>). ) and
going through a complete reinstall of SCSI card. scanner and software.
You might also check the HP web site for possible solutions to your
problem.  It is well set up and gave me real mode drivers for mine
(IRQ's! Sixteen relics of the Cenozoic age living on in modern
computers.  There's gotta be a better way.).

Later HP's don't have a power button... so you don't have much choice...
