I am on Ubuntu 21.04.  In the past I have used "simple scan".  Somewhere in
updating Ubuntu that program disappeared.  I am now using "document scanner". 
I click on "Show Applications" and type "si" to get the icon for the program. 
I have two MFP devices, HP ENVY 120 and a HP M277dw laserjet.  Both of these
work using the Document Scanner program.  There are problems with the program
as it lists both devices three times in the drop down to select which device to
use, in my case the only items that work are the last two in the list.
