GSCAN2PDF or SimpleScan can't access scanner - HP Laserprinter and scanner (netwrok printer/scanner)

I would think of firewall, but it shows it would be off, still wondering if it is somehow firewall related.

I have no problems with my printer or scanner anywhere else, Debian Gentoo or Ubuntu based distros are all working fine.

I installed HPLIPs and went into yast to add the printer and scanner.

But none of my scanning programs can access my network scanner.

Thanks to everyone trying to help

hp-setup

as root?

If you have hplip installed, you should have the HP Device Manager available. This has an option to discover network devices - the default is USB; so you may only need to change the scanning to network devices to locate it.

If you already have the printer running from hp-setup, on some models it’s needed to run YaST > Hardware > Scanner, see it detected, confirm and apps should detect the scanner. My HP needed that.
