Hello Dan!

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.
