Beyond the obvious (cups, x/sane), HPLIP toolbox more or less mirror's the HP Window toolbox minus the all the bloatware and in most cases the printer simply works out of the box.
If you download the CORPORATE windows drivers for your HP printer you get it without the bloatware.
To be honest I have not tried to use it to scan with my ethernet attached multifunction printer, but it does print well.
Most of the problems I have found with HP printers on networks is due to them having floating IP addresses (randomly assigned by DHCP servers) and if you give them a fixed IP address they work fine.
Windows also supports printing over HTTP, so you can easily connect your windows system to CUPS.
