In order to get libsane-hpaio, the part of HPLIP responsible for
scanning, to know where the scanner is you have to have a CUPS queue
configured for the printer function of the device using the "hp"
backend.  All libsane-hpaio does for "network scanning" is look through
the configured CUPS queues to see which ones have a device URI starting
with "hp:/...".
