@boof - I always have to install a scan utility (from manufacturer's website), then run xsane.
I know that HP printers have a scan facility onboard, when wirelessly connected - you simply put the printer IP address in your browser.

Late posting here, but it wasn't solved, so in case anyone else has this error message (as I did with an Epson scanner), try deleting the file /root/xsaneshellrc and starting Xsane up again.
