Have you tried the google.com/linux? I turned up many results looking for HP scanners (not sure about your model, but I'm sure there's something close). I know that people have gotten scanners working in Linux.
As far as HP writing Linux drivers, pester them. If a company has enough customers asking for something, you will eventually get it. It's just a matter of numbers and persistance.
