It looks simple to me, or am I missing something?
Create /usr/local/bin/scanimage with these contents:
#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/scanimage -d "hpaio:/net/deskjet_3050a_j611_series?ip=10.0.1.155"
Then,
$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ chmod +x scanimage

$ scanimage
Because /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin in $PATH, /usr/local/bin/scanimage
takes precedence over /usr/bin/scanimage.
