My HP Laserjet Pro MFP M26nw worked fine with Ubuntu 16.04 but since I installed 18.04 only the print function works, I cannot get the scan function to work.

Simple Scan says "failed to scan" and the HP Device manager tells me: Driver required.

Clicking next returns: Failed to install plugin.

Running hp-plugin from the terminal and downloading returns: failed to load module "canberra-gtk.module". Plug-in installation failed.

Does anyone know how to solve this? I have the latest version of HPLIP.

  • Thanks, I did this and now the canberra error does not appear anymore. But the HP plugin still does not work: – Harmen Mar 26 '19 at 16:47
  • This is what the terminal returns:Plug-in version: 3.19.1 Installed HPLIP version: 3.19.1 Number of files to install: 64 Plugin installation failed error: Python gobject/dbus may be not installed error: Plug-in install failed. – Harmen Mar 26 '19 at 16:48
