I, remember when setting my hp all in One, having to  exec "yum install 
libsane-hpaio" to detect the hardware, if that doesnt work in your case 
( my AIO is USB) but maybe also you can try the instructions in 
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf:

#
# The following backends are not included in the sane-backends distribution
# If you want to use them, download them from their webpages and read their
# documentation
#
# HP OfficeJet backend homepage: http://hpoj.sf.net/
# Uncomment the following line if hpoj is installed:
#hpoj
