Those options are provided (or not) by the driver. Skanlite doesn't do any
postprocessing (neither does Xsane for that matter) so it only offers the
options the driver offers. Unfortunately, HPLIP seems to have a
GNOME-style "set reasonable defaults and don't let users change anything"
design philosophy. :-(

No, ICM profiles are optional and AFAIK Skanlite doesn't support them at
all.
