# yum install hplip
# hp-setup

I have the exact same printer/scanner and it works perfectly on F9 using
the hplip tools. The only difference is I have it connected to my local
LAN via its builtin Ethernet port, and for some reason on setup I had to
supply its IP address as it wasn't detected automatically, but from then
on it's been trouble-free.

For what it's worth:

# rpm -qa \*sane\*
libsane-hpaio-2.8.2-2.fc9.x86_64
sane-backends-libs-1.0.19-10.fc9.x86_64
sane-backends-libs-1.0.19-10.fc9.i386
xsane-0.995-3.fc9.x86_64
sane-backends-1.0.19-10.fc9.x86_64
xsane-gimp-0.995-3.fc9.x86_64
