There are two discussions of doing something like this.  

One user was able to use VBS to scan to a folder.  The VBS app used "HP Scan" and the version of HP Scan seems to have more feature than my HP scan.

There is another discussion here and they used powershell and were successful if the printer was USB connected

If you put your code on github I can look at it and try to make some suggestions.  I have an account there and it would be easier to discuss on github then here in my opinion.

It is going to depend on how you are thinking of scanning to folder. Are you expecting to use the embedded scan to folder in the printer itself or are you using the desktop scanning app? Outside of direct programming through the EWS or using HP Web Jet Admin, I am not aware of any way to command line program the embedded scan to folder as external commands are likely blocked by HP secure features. The printer operating system is also not based on a windows core any longer.
