I don't know the answer to this for the HP model.  For mine (an Artec) the 
file was on the Windows device CD as 'artec48.usb': I picked the XP version 
as the latest on the CD, and have had no trouble.

saned.conf doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.  Again for the Artec, 
there's a file as part of the sane installation called 'artec_eplus48u.conf' 
which contains a line for the path to the firmware file.   I actually droped 
the firmware file into /etc/sane.d, and haven't put a path into 
artec_eplus48u.conf - it works, presumably since it's in the same directory!
