Ok, this is your HP device.

It says that we should look at the interface ids to find out what type
of device it is.

7 is "printer".

So sane-find-scanner is right: Your device says it is a printer and
nothing else. I guess there is some trick to talk to it anyway but all
it tells us is that it's only a printer.

Maybe the hpoj (hpoj.sf.net) folks know more details?

That file tells us the same:

I may miss something here but I'd call such a setup a bug in the
design of this series of scanners/printers.
