Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the following packages

• sane-hp 1.3.1-r1

2. Try to scan with your HP Scanner

Actual Behaviour

It seems that the drivers are that proprietary that we fail in being able to use what you actually installed as it's incomplete.

### Confirmation Checklist

- [x] The package is maintained in this repository.
- [x] I understand that issues related to [the base OpenWrt repository](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues) or [LuCI repository](https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues) will be closed.
- [x] I am reporting an issue for OpenWrt, not an unsupported fork.

Inspect the hplip-sane package definition and its dependency or plugin handling first; the report provides no file or test path. Reproduce the listed package installation and scan attempt, then verify that the installed package no longer fails on the missing hplip.state and plugin-version checks.
