I have been able to set scanning for my HP all in one, which is connected
through the local network. FWIW:
- net-snmp does not build with perl-5.24. It needs 2 patches, which can be
found at https://bugs.debian.org/gci-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825014
- Hplip depends on sane and net-snmp (as already said). At run time, it
further depends on dbus-python (in the book), PyQt5
(https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download5), which itself
depends on SIP (https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download).

If the socket URI is used in CUPS (that is proposed by default), xsane does
not find the printer. You have to do:
$ hp-makeuri <IP address of printer>
Use the cups URI in cups. and type
$ xsane <sane URI>
Once done, the aio printer is found each time xsane is run.

PS : Part of the above, I have found in the ubuntu wiki. It might be
interesting to put this on an LFS wiki, but I am not sure where...
