In order to get libsane-hpaio, the part of HPLIP responsible for
scanning, to know where the scanner is you have to have a CUPS queue
configured for the printer function of the device using the "hp"
backend. All libsane-hpaio does for "network scanning" is look through
the configured CUPS queues to see which ones have a device URI starting
with "hp:/...".
Ah, OK. So I was using the printer as shared from a server. If I
create a local CUPS entry for the printer, that reveals the scanner.
