Your printer got grabbed by ippusbxd because it supports the modern, driverless approach. HPLIP is not required for it any more. The printer should work with the "escl" SANE backend of SANE 1.0.29.
Please make sure your Focal system is completely updated. If so, please enter the following commands and post the output here: dpkg -l | grep sane scanimage -L ** Changed in: hplip Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to hplip in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871011 Title: USB scanning broken on focal --> hpmud and ippusbxd conflict Status in HPLIP: Invalid Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On Ubuntu 20.04 focal (with -proposed enabled). HPLIP=3.20.3. Previously there was a libmtp (udev) bug erroneously detecting HP printers as mtp devices. This was fixed. Now, I can try to scan-- from both simple-scan and hp-scan, hplip errors out: Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 427: Found interface conf=0, iface=1, altset=0, index=1 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 389: Active kernel driver on interface=1 ret=0 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 515: invalid claim_interface 7/1/2: Device or resource busy Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 427: Found interface conf=0, iface=0, altset=1, index=3 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 389: Active kernel driver on interface=0 ret=0 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 515: invalid claim_interface 7/1/4: Device or resource busy Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 427: Found interface conf=0, iface=3, altset=0, index=9 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 389: Active kernel driver on interface=3 ret=0 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 515: invalid claim_interface ff/4/1: Device or resource busy Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 427: Found interface conf=0, iface=0, altset=0, index=11 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 389: Active kernel driver on interface=0 ret=0 Apr 05 21:27:37 dani-mbp15 simple-scan[3464]: io/hpmud/musb.c 515: invalid claim_interface ff/cc/0: Device or resource busy Printer/scanner is an Officejet 4635.
