"scanimage -d net:localhost:hp:/dev/scanner >image.pnm" also works?

scanimage's and xsane's usage of the backends is a bit different so it may
be a combination of hp and net/saned problems, also.

When you do this also test other X frontends like xscanimage and
quiteinsane. If those work but not xsane, it's xsane's fault. If
everything works on Linux but not on Windows there is probably a bug
somewhere in the port of xsane or the net backend.
