I share your pain, I really do. I think that this is caused by HP not realising the world moved from Python 2 to Python 3. But that doesn't help you. This might.
Go to: https://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/auxfiles/HP/plugins/ Choose your driver based on the version of HPLip you have installed. If you don't have HPLip setup, then I suggest you download it from https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/gethplip
This will be a text file in your downloads directory, so install with:
chmod +x Downloads/hplip-3.20.6.run
sh Downloads/hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run
Follow all the instructions here. Let it delete anything it wants and install its own dependencies. Then setup your print queue, all as normal.
Return to the first link I gave you and download hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run Now we install that:
chmod +x Downloads/hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run
sh Downloads/hplip-3.21.12-plugin.run
Same procedure, just follow the prompts.
I could then use xsane to scan from my printer.
Good luck, hope this helps.
