Bug Description
I have freshly installed Xubuntu 20.4 and LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw connected over LAN. On Ubuntu 18, scanning and printing worked without problems. On Ubuntu 20.4, printing works (automatically, without configuring anything) but scanning does not.
Trying to run xsane:

Similar messages appear while running simple-scan
Note that my models.dat contains the entry for "hp_laserjet_
This is with the default hplip included with Xubuntu 20.4.
I'd like to run "hp-doctor" as suggested on this page but:
-------
fuxoft@frantisek:~$ hp-doctor
Command 'hp-doctor' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install hplip
fuxoft@frantisek:~$ sudo apt install hplip
[sudo] password for fuxoft:

hplip is already the newest version (3.20.3+dfsg0-2).

Trying to run "hp-check", "hpsetup" or "hp-setup" shows the same message.
I am too much of a noob to install hplip from hp.com. It fails to install with several ubuntu packages not found (e.g. libqt5) and I am unable to resolve that even after extensive googling.
