If I try to scan (xsane or simple-scan) I get this output:

Device URI: hpaio:/net/HP_LaserJet_MFP_M129-M134?hostname=hp-drucker

I was told that this device has great linux support ... See https://hardwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/8323/small-printerscanner-with-very-good-support-for-ubuntu

After updateing snmp packages I get this error now:

    Did you setup this printer using the hp-setup command or using hplip-gui?

The somewhat brute-force answer is that you had installed at some point snmp on your system, and it has not been entirely removed. The easiest fix for this will be re-installation of snmp:

Open a terminal, and enter the command

sudo apt update
sudo apt install snmp snmp-mibs-downloader

After having fixed the snmp issues, the I/O error 9 referenced by hp-scan seems to indicate tht it may not be fully installed - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1347231

To fix this, enter the command

sudo apt install --reinstall hplip

  • I entered the command you wrote. The verbose error does not happen any more. But xsane or sane-find-scanner bring to output. But still not working. I added the output of hp-scan to the question.

  • @guettli Please reinstall the hplip program - this can most easily be done by sudo apt install --reinstall hplip

    I followed your commands, but it didn't help.

I solved the error: SANE: Error during device I/O (code=9) by installing the hplip-plugin.

I had to manually download it from there website and use sh hplip-3.19.3-plugin.run to install it (use the same version as your own hplip, you can see your version number by running the command hp-info). Using the command hp-plugin did not work for me.

After this hp-scan and programs like Simple Scan worked correctly.

  • This did not work for me. Running hp-scan, I still get the same error: SANE: Error during device I/O (code=9) error after installing the matching plugin.

  • Make user you select the right version from the website (preferably the latest). If that does not work, try the previous versions. In hp-info there is a field support-ver, I think this denotes the minimal version required by your device. This might also depend on the OS library installed. What version of hp-scan do you have? Can view using hp-scan --help.

  • Thanks for the followup! hp-scan --help says HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.20.3) Scan Utility ver. 2.2 . I installed hplip-3.20.3-plugin.run. Running hp-info yields: error: No device found that support this feature. When running hp-scan I select hpaio:/usb/OfficeJet_5200_series?serial=TH82H4B0QN I'm running Ubuntu 20.04

  • Hmm, not sure. But I noticed my device url is: hp:/usb/... so maybe give that a try, instead of the hpaio:/usb/ you used. Don't know if it makes a difference. (although think the hp:/ is for printing, hpaio:/ for scanning) Maybe you don't have the appropriate CUPS drivers? See if http://localhost:631/ shows anything (it should show a static webpage with version number on top, http://localhost:631/printers/ lists the printers it knows about.

Encountered similar issue with quite similar error messages for my hp-scanner (it is in an hp-all-in-one, the printer works, but the scanner could not work)

None of the direct answers to the original post resolved my issue, but installing hplip-gui, and then run hp-setup makes my hp-scanner work perfectly.

According to the man page

hp-scan [DEVICE_URI|PRINTER_NAME] [MODE] [OPTIONS]

To specify a device-URI:
    -d<device-uri> or --device=<device-uri> 
To specify a CUPS printer:
    -p<printer> or --printer=<printer>

Note that you need to specify the URI for hp-scan

Configuration of Sane is also required

This is a work-around, but it works.

I use the "HP Smart (HP AiO Remote)" Android App for scanning. This works easy and reliably ... I am happy.

  • Do you know the difference between a goal and a strategy? I guess the goal of the question is to get scanning working. In many cases the strategy (the how?) does not matter much.

  • OK, I hear you. Indeed, if someone has Android this can be helpful. But I tried the Android app, and it didn't work for me. Could have been a wifi config restriction on the local infrastructure. But for the askubuntu site, with an answer that you could leave for any problem related to HP scanning, I'd leave the down vote, except for the fact that you have a total of 0 up-votes and it seems unnecessary to put the post in negative territory. So I tried to undo my downvote, but it is "locked in" until the answer is changed. At any rate, thanks for engaging, and all your other good answers!
