The localOnly check was removed from HPLIP 2.7.7 in 2007

after this email exchange :

It was added to a Fedora-only patch in Oct. 2011:

  https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/2011-October/673993.html

It reappeared in HPLIP between versions 3.13.8 and 3.13.11 (snapshot's
record is incomplete) in Oct. 2013. There appears to be no HPLIP record
saying why. Perhaps Tim Waugh (cc'ed) could shed some light on this and
say whether it was the intention of the Fedora patch itself to make it
impossible to share the scanner on a networked HP AIO device.

Vladimir, please would you post the 'scanimage -L' output from the
server.

Regards,
