hplip - problem with scanning on HP LaserJet Printer / Scanner. (solved)

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

Briefly: HP LaserJet M1132MFP On Ubuntu  20.04. It would print but not
scan. It now does both.

Basically, I've been working on this all afternoon. I've been running
hp-check, to see what packages might be missing and, after numerous runs of
hp-check and installing packages via "sudo apt install", there are some
packages it complains are incompatible, and some it complains that are
missing that I was unable to find:-

*Required package dependencies*
Incompatible :- 'libcups2'' and 'gtk2-engines-pixbuf'
Missing 'python3-pyqt4'

*Optional package Dependencies*
Missing:- 'python3-dbus.mainloop.qt'

The packages marked "Missing" are those reported by hp-check as missing and
I am unable to find to install.

However, despite those problems, scanning has just started working.
Printing still works :)

At the moment I don't know for sure what got scanning going again.  But I
thought I'd pass this info on in case someone else has this problem.

TIA,


Ian
