Of course I am in contact with the HPLIP team
also with the people of the SANE project
since a very long time and of course
I do not work on my own ignoring the outside world.
"search the web" for each individual device is wishful thinking
and totally impossible for me with the working time I have.
But perhaps the HAL people can do it so that they can provide
correct readymade HAL files which would remove a big workload
from me when I would no longer have to generate them, but note

Regarding HPLIP see
/etc/udev/rules.d/55-hpmud.rules
that HPLIP sets
ENV{sane_hpaio}="yes" (i.e. scanner support is activated)
for all devices which are supported by HPLIP.
HPLIP does not distinguish plain printers from the rest.
One reason is - as already mentioned in comment #3:
-----------------------------------------------------------
there are devices which are basically a plain printer
but an extension scanner unit is available which makes it
a printer + scanner all-in-one device but the USB ID
would not change
