Have you tried setting up the printer and scanner with driverless printing
and scanning?  I have an HP printer, and setting it up driverless means
there is no need to use the HPLIP package at all and it sets up a single
ppd file, and works well in general.  Although I don't have a scanner the
arch wiki has advice on setting up driverless scanning too at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SANE#Installation

That may lead to a solution?
