Colin here are the Instructions I use to get a number of different USB 
Scanners working. These Instruction also cover setting up a Network printer.
One thing. A number of Manufacture , example, Samsung uses Xerox 
scanners on their printers (All-in one)
Most Epsons I have set up uses Epson Scanners, as far as HP goes I 
really don't know.
But that is going to be the sticking point.
