Followed these steps and solved the hp-plugin problem can now scan,fax and print
1) Used this link to find my plugin:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/
2) Downloaded the two files to a folder on my home directory (mkdir hp-plugin) directory:
hplip-3.19.5-plugin.run
hplip-3.19.5-plugin
3) ran this command to install the hp-plugin:
sh hplip-3.19.5-plugin.run
4) ran hp-setup -u ip address of my printer HP Color LaserJet MFP m277dw
hp-setup -u 10.10.10.105
5) Ran hp-toolbox and checked status of printers
Everything is now working as expected: printer, scanner,and fax.
