If HP printer is configured using hp-setup then both printer and scanner get added to the system properly. However if only printer is added using 'system-config-printer' then scanner is not detected while trying to use Scanner Tool (xsane). In such cases scanner can be used as follows:

  1. First sane URI of printer needs to be formed using: 
    hp-makeuri <printer-ip>
  2. Then start xsane with sane URI as: 
    xsane <sane-uri>
