Sorry, it’s too hard to understand your question in this form. Could you reformulate it perhaps?

I have a couple of HP network-based multi-function units and scanning works fine (as well as printing).

Because they are network-based, you can point your web browser at the unit’s embedded web server and scan a single page with a limited number of scanning options. That should work with just about any computer (certainly works with Linux).

Or you can connect a single Linux computer via USB to the USB port of the multi-function unit and use the greater functionality available with e.g. SimpleScan.

Or you can do both (as I have) - although I don’t suppose you can simultaneously scan via both ports.

To be honest, I don’t know whether it is using SANE - because it just worked!

I would imagine that you could configure a remote computer with a networked backend for scanning, communicating with the computer to which the scanner is connected via USB - but this is not something that I have tried.

So if your requirement is just for a single Linux computer connected via USB then you should be set.

And if your requirement is more a home office with a number of networked Linux computers and multi-function HP printer/scanner units then you should be set.
