I can’t seem to get the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 to scanning Linux regularly. The scanning seems to work only sporadically, even though the unit is detected in Ubuntu.

I tried installing the HPLIP software, but the install does not succeed in Ubuntu 20.10, something related to Python dependencies not being met. The HPLIP software uses simple-scan for scanning documents.

The simple-scan software sometimes works, but a lot of the time the scanning seems to be sporadic. I am using a USB connection and the lsusb command seems to detect the printer/scanner combo fine.

Printing with CUPS almost works every time; I only had an issue where the printer wouldn't print once.

The command scanimage -L seems to show the scanner name and info. If I copy the scanner name (HP_OfficeJet_Pro_8020_series all-in-one) and running the following command,

simple-scan HP_OfficeJet_Pro_8020_series all-in-one simple-scan will detect the scanner. I found this article useful.
