Some HP printers *require* a proprietary plugin to scan. In my case (LaserJet
Pro MFP M127fw), I can print without hplip, but not scan.
But I'm using guix on a foreign (Debian) system, and haven't managed to set up
hplip-plugin (from nonguix) yet.
There is a list of which printers require the plugin at
https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/binary_plugin.html
My guess (and it is only a guess) would be that you will not have any luck with
libsane if your printer shows up on that list.
