As there is no definitive method to identify a scanner, heuristics need to be added to detect new scanners that do not fall into the exisiting heuristics. Since you have access to the actual hardware, you're in a position to develop, test and propose new heuristics for this particular hardware. If you can come up with a patch, please send it to sane-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org. Note that in your particular case, this hardware is supported by hplip, which is totally independent from SANE and comes with its own detection tool.
