No scanner in HPLIP

Give the outputs of

  scanimage -L
  airscan-discover

lqe@DELLMAX:~$ scanimage -L
device `hpaio:/usb/ENVY_6000_series?serial=TH15BBC06F' is a Hewlett-Packard ENVY_6000_series all-in-one
device `airscan:e0:HP ENVY 6000 series [DDC101] (USB)' is a eSCL HP ENVY 6000 series [DDC101] (USB) ip=127.0.0.1
lqe@DELLMAX:~$ airscan-discover
[devices]
  HP ENVY 6000 series [DDC101] (USB) = http://127.0.0.1:60000/eSCL/, eSCL
lqe@DELLMAX:~$

I also found Document Scanner in my Application menu under Graphics, I'm not quite sure if I have downloaded this as an extra piece of software. However, I can scan using this program. But is it the HPLIP scanner?

Thanks.

For your benefit and that of other users I would like to know whether
you can scan with

  simple-scan "airscan:e0:HP ENVY 6000 series [DDC101] (USB)"

Document Scanner is a default installation on Mint and uses simple-scan.
You did not download it.

airscan is not part of HPLIP but is a competent and well-regarded driver
for the HP ENVY 6032e that Mint, Debian and Ubuntu ship by default.

The HPLIP scanning driver is the one beginning hpaio:/usb/... . It will not
work in a USB situation. See the iIPP-over-USB sections at

  https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting

This is something to be aware of but not anything to worry about.

I use only the USB connection, and do not use wi-fi or any other wireless products. If you still wish me to test simple-scan, then please tell me how I can invoke it.

Document Scanner wasn't visible when I first downloaded Mint a couple of weeks ago, but today I noticed it for the first time.

Thanks

Open a terminal and in it at the prompt type (or copy)

  simple-scan "airscan:e0:HP ENVY 6000 series [DDC101] (USB)"

The press the ENTER key. The scanner should activate.

This worked perfectly, and the scanned page was just fine. So is there
any way I can keep this as an option in "Document Scanner"? Or somewhere
else?

Thanks for your great support, and after answering you may close this
thread as Solved.

You want just the single working entry to be shown and used by Document
 Scanner? The quickest way is to remove libsane-hpaio, I would do

  apt purge libsane-hpaio

The issue must be marked as solved by you. Thank you for engaging with it.

Thank you brian_p. Issue resolved.
