Printing and scanning problem on HP DeskJet 2700

Have you installed [HPLIP](https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/07/install-latest-hplip-ubuntu-20-04-fix/)? — graham, Nov 02 '21 at 14:42
Does this answer your question? [How to install latest HPLIP on my Ubuntu to support my HP printer and/or scanner?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1056077/how-to-install-latest-hplip-on-my-ubuntu-to-support-my-hp-printer-and-or-scanner) ← your printer needs 3.20.5, so you have to install binary hplip. — N0rbert, Nov 02 '21 at 15:42

You're asking about 2 problems: print, and scan.

Print is managed via CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), browse to http://localhost:631 to manage/add your printer. Read man -k cups.

Scanners are accessed through SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy). Read man -k sane, especially man sane-find-scanner
