That is because the scanner URI (hpaio:/...)is obtained from the printer
URI (hp:/...). That is, the hp:/ is simply replaced by hpaio:/. Other
URIs like socket:// cannot be used to form hpaio:/net/printer_name?ip=.

Indeed. Please see above.

The PPD is really of no importance here. It is having an hp:/... URI for
the print queue which allows xsane to automatically work because it is
given the correct URI.

That statement is nonsense. It can also be derived from the printer URI.
(Your comments on the printer driver setup lead me to believe you had
AirPrint turned off on the HP device).

That is also a nonsense statement. The two bugs do not arise from having
a USB connected machine.

The URI for the scanner is correct; the scanner is found but cannot be
opened by SANE and hpaio.

So how are going on with this suggestion, Svante? As Odyx says, there
have been no changes in hplip to account for such behaviour. Also, I
have tested an HP aio with success.
(If I understand what you are doing, your setup does not require changes
in saned.conf, dll.conf or net.conf).
