Ah, you're right.

There may be a clue in the pile, though: a mention of scanadf, part of SANE: http://www.martoneconsulting.com/sane-scanadf.html I note the OfficeJet has a "Scan To" button which, when pushed, helpfully points out that some software has to be running remotely to support it. In Winders, it will office a Fax-to-Email, Fax-to-File, Fax-To-PDF or some such combination. With HP being so helpful with their HPOJ and HPLIJ projects, I wonder if they've published that protocol somewhere.
