HPLIP

Scan failure Ubuntu 20.04

Asked by Sharyn

I have been using HP scanners since at least Ubuntu 14.04 and my present scanner (HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M180nw) since Ubuntu 16.04. It has always worked just fine. Last week, I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04-1 and Simple Scan/Document Scanner RECOGNIZES the scanner, but will NOT scan --- returns FAILED to OPEN caveat. SANE troubleshooter reports INVALID ARGUEMENT (of course not saying what arguement or where). I've tried everything I can think of. Presently using v3.20.3 to no avail. Will NOT work on any of my Linux devices, but does work with Microsoft Windows 10 devices

You're USB connected? It would be useful to have the outputs of

  avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp
  avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp
  scanimage -L

No. NOT USB connected ---- NETWORK connected.

SANE sees scanner, but fails to perform scan.

scanner is HP MFP M180nw

HPLIP recognizes both scanner and printer.   Printer works fine. Scanner
doesn't scan.
Scanner worked just fine under Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04, but not now under
20.04

When I attempt to scan --- using Simple Scan / Document Scanner, I get:

And when I click on SCAN, I get:

This device needs a plugin. Is it installed?

OK
I  THINK I've followed your instructions.
Got to this url:        https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSPrintQueues#hp
tried following the link/shadowbox.
Went thru a whole litany in Terminal
Process totally uploaded new HPLIP suite.

Until this interchange, I had NOT noticed that I no longer had the HP
Device Manager installed (but did notice the HP moniker was missing from
the top tool bar where it had been in 18.04.    After going thru this
new process, the Manager is reinstalled, but if I bring up  the PRINTERS
section in SETTINGS, I now have 2 copies of the M180nw shown, but not my
2nd printer (M251nw), but I did a test print, and it worked on all three
shown devices.
I tried the scan function, and it failed on both M180nw selections in
DOCUMENT SCANNER initially, but then DID function on a second attempt.
The M251nw is not showing up in the DEVICE MANAGER, so I guess I need to
try adding that printer again?   Maybe the older version of HPLIP is
still installed and populated?

Thanks for your patience with me on this

Sharyn, I am completely disinclined to devise a way of debugging HPLIP,
so my final advice is to install sane-airscan from

  https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan

Your device is supported by it.

The file you want is at

  https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/

100% of users who have used this utility have benefited from it.

Hello Sharyn,

Glad to have helped. Is it possible to say explicitly whether sane-airscan
works for you? It can then be added to the list of working devices.

HI Brian,
Yes, it does appear to be working for me.  Thank you
