Your result is exactly what should be observed. The URI is coming from
the print queue's URI. We know that URI is correct because you can print.
You have also reported:

and

(I hope this still holds because my explanation depends on it :) ).
When cupsd is stopped, the print queue's URI cannot be used. But your
8710 had Bonjour turned on by default (you had to turn it off for one
of the tests} and scanimage will look at the broadcasts. (It does not
look at the broadcasts when the print queue is operative).
But you report as above. Therefore, scanimage is not picking up the
Bonjour broadcasts. It looks like a bug somewhere; but not in the
Debian package. But where? I'm now going to do a bit of guessing.
Another piece of good information you provide is:
= eth0 IPv6 HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 [XXXXXX] _scanner._tcp local
txt = ["feeder=T" "flatbed=T" "button=T" "UUID=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
"note=" "adminurl=http://HPxxxxxxxxxxxx.local."; "mdl=OfficeJet Pro 8710" "mfg=HP"
"ty=HP OfficeJet Pro 8710" "txtvers=1"]
I think (but am nowhere near certain) that the mdl= key is used by
hpaio. It could be incorrect (a firmware bug) or mishandled by HPLIP.
How does that sound?
