I would be surprised, given that I have a similar HP device which scans 
and prints wirelessly without any problems.

It is not identical, of course, but I would be very surprised that a HP 
MFP would print wirelessly but not scan — so long as you install HPLIP 
and XSane.

Changing the device drivers may, however; and different scanner programs 
may use different drivers.
