Till, as I said, I know I am not addressing the bug report directly, but
my skills do not extend to code writing; you have indicated a way forward
in this regard. Roll on driverless printing and raising users' awareness
it exists.

I was prepared to come to the question of scanning later. This does need
stuff from HP (which has done well by me) but not as much as provided by
the hplip package.
apt install libsane-hpaio --no-install-recommends
gets everything needed for scanning.
