Our ‘sane-backends’ package depends on ‘hplip’, so I would expect
packages such as ‘simple-scan’ to work correctly with those scanners.  I
haven’t tried it though, so I can’t really tell.

Right, it’s currently missing.  Maybe you could follow
<https://gnu.org/s/guix/manual/html_node/Defining-Services.html> and
help write a service for it?  People on #guix and this list could
provide guidance.

Thanks,
