   As a follow-up: We have several HP printers here, so installing hplip is the   
   way to go. We have one old MFP among these that requires the additional hplip   
   binary plugin to allow scanning over network (which is a very nice feature we   
   rely on heavily). This plugin didn't install properly, but that's probably   
   more HP's fault (hp-setup needs to install it). Actually, I have never been   
   able to get it installed without any manual interaction on any system I tried   
   (be it FreeBSD, Gentoo, Sabayon, MX or whatever). On the bright side, the   
   "usual" tricks worked here, too, so I could just use the commandline to get   
   everything going. Now I have both xsane and HP's simple scanner tool using the   
   MFP scanner over the network.
