I have problem with scanning on LJ M1132 MFP printer/scaner. My search on many various forums did not get anywhere so I try to ask directly if someone can help me.
I recently reinstall system from Mate 16.04. to Ubuntu 18.04. In 16.04. the scanner had no problems. After installation of new system I had problems even with the printing. I installed newest hplip. Printing works for some time but scanning was not possible. All the time it show i/o problems.
For example "simple scan" shows warning "Unable to connect to scanner".
If I run
hp-scan
it comes with "error: SANE: Error during device I/O (code 9)"
I try several tips, like reinstalling hplip, so now I have instaled 3.18.6 version, but no change in scanning.
If I run
hp-check -t
from my point important part of output is

No errors or warnings.
As was suggested to install Plug-in, it is already installed together with the hplip. Even for printing my printer needs Plug-in. For versions of hplip 13.16.9 and 13.18.6 which were installed on my computer (together with similar version of plug-in) printing was working but scaner no. And my printer is not the latest model, according to the https://developers.hp.com my printer should be supported with hplip from version 3.10.4.
