HP Envy 5055 not listed; is it planned/

I will give you a non-HPLIP technique that has worked for many users.

 * Go to https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan.
 * Move on to https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/.
 * Download and install ipp-usb and sane-airscan.
 * Give 'scanimage -L'.

Thank you Brian P.  There are multiple ipp-usb and sane-airscan files at
both sites.  I'm not clear which ones to download.

Also, I am familiar with installing software through the Ubuntu software
gui and using apt-get.  It's not clear to me which will work in this case.

I'm relatively new to Ubuntu so every time I run into an issue I have a
lot of learning to do.

At the second link download with

 wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/ipp-usb_0.9.19-1+50.1_amd64.deb

 wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/xUbuntu_20.04/amd64/sane-airscan_0.99.27-1+87.1_amd64.deb

Install with

  apt install ./ipp-usb_0.9.19-1+50.1_amd64.deb
  apt install ./sane-airscan_0.99.27-1+87.1_amd64.deb

Successful?

I forgot to say to disconnect and reconnect the device to USB before doing
'scanimage -L'.

Found the snap for ipp-usb and have installed that.

I don't know anything about snaps and how they behave,, so
I am outta here.

Yeah, I'm not sure if one is a snap and the other is not, whether they
will work together.  Might have to rethink that.  I have seen your other
message about using wget.  Understood and will try it.

Thanks again.

I uninstalled the snap version of ipp-usb and followed Brian's instructions.

Here are the results from /scanimage -L/

/device `escl:http://127.0.0.1:60000' is a ESCL ENVY 5000 series
[TH91V8J1BT] flatbed scanner
device `hpaio:/usb/ENVY_5000_series?serial=TH91V8J1BT' is a
Hewlett-Packard ENVY_5000_series all-in-one
device `airscan:e0:ENVY 5000 series [TH91V8J1BT]' is a eSCL ENVY 5000
series [TH91V8J1BT] ip=127.0.0.1
/

And here are the results of attempted scans using all of the above devices.

/~$ scanimage -d escl
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
scanimage: open of device escl failed: Invalid argument

~$ scanimage -d hpaio
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
scanimage: open of device hpaio failed: Operation not supported

~$ scanimage -d airscan
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
scanimage: output is not a file, exiting
/

Trying as root

/sudo scanimage -d escl:http://127.0.0.1:60000
[sudo]:
Output format is not set, using pnm as a default.
Capability : [(null)]
Capability : [image/jpeg]
Capability : [image/jpeg]
scanimage: rounded value of br-x from 0 to 0
scanimage: rounded value of br-y from 0 to 0
scanimage: output is not a file, exiting
/

Using hpaio or airscan devices in root resulted in same 'output is not a
file, exiting' result.

Anything else I can look at?

Thanks brian_p, that solved my question.

OK quoting the full device name worked.  I had looked at whatever
command info I could find and the examples didn't use this syntax.

Many, many thanks!

Well done, Sharon!

simple-scan (the Document Scanner) has a drop down menu at
the cemtre of its window. You should be able to use airscan from
it instead of from the command line. The same applies to xsane.

May I impose.? I would like some information from you for my records.
Please give the outputs of

 avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp

and

 avahi-browse -rt _uscan._tcp

TIA.

Would love to know what the above will reveal to you.  I'm always
interested in how things work under the hood.

Thanks again,
