You should investigate the opensource project that HP is promoting to 
get all their hardware working under Linux.  The link is:
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/
http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/suplist.shtml

Hope this helps a bit,
Dow

PS.  I just had to let SuSE setup the scanner to be used by kooka which 
is SuSE's scanner/KDE program.
