Hi,

I have an HP DeskJet 3510 and scanning from WiFi works flawlessly and 
requires no setup.  I use the gnome printer tool to set it up, and 
'Simple Scan'

Not sure what to tell you other than it is definitely possible, and is 
extraordinarily easy when you use HP.  I also did it previously with an 
HP printer connected via an ethernet cable to my router.

You might try looking in the cups configuration to see if your printer 
supports it.
