Hi

Can you please download the plugin from https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/plugins
And then run "sh hplip-3.21.4-pugin.run" on terminal. Plugin should install as expected.

Let me know if the problem persists.

Hi Anam,
Thanks for your advise.
I did as suggested.
Installed the hplip until the end incl. reboot.
Unfortunately it' still not working. Behaviour is the same as before.
I am able to print a test page, but still no scanning.
I took screenshots from the dialog boxes I received while attempting to scan.
If needed I can upload the screens (where/how?).
Regards
Fred

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
