Ah, that is a different problem. I thought your question was how to
use a (supported) scanner via network with SANE.
To find out if your scanner is supported at all (there are a few HP
backends) I'm afarid you will have to connect it to a (FreeBSD)
machine via usb and run sane-find-scanner as root.

If it isn't supported by SANE, there is always HPLIP
(http://www.freshports.org/print/hplip/) as already mentioned in this
thread.
