I do have hpaio in that file and I am able to scan using the scanner. In that sense the problem is solved. It is however confusing that using YaST to add this scanner does not result in a positive result. Maybe the problem is that YaST expects a device USB-ID 0x03f0:0x4611, see attachment), where the device has USB-ID 03f0:1853 HP, Inc DeskJet 2700 series
