Why? Because Ubuntu comes with HPLIP 0.9.7 which was released way way back in November 2005, and wireless scanning was only added in HPLIP 0.9.8 which was released way back in January. In Kubuntu i had to manually detect and install the printer (not a huge deal), but the scanner just doesn't work. Under my old distro, PCLOS based on Mandriva, the Mandriva printer/scanner wizard auto-detected and installed both printer and scanner, no fuss about them being wireless, they just worked. I like to use it wirelessly to save cables and allow to print from my laptop anywhere in the house.
I have an HP Photosmart 3310 wireless printer/scanner/fax unit.
