I have the same issue. After upgrading to Linux Mint 20, I could not scan from my printer which worked on Linux Mint 19.3. I also noticed Linux Mint 20 is not yet supported, so I couldn't install by downloading from the HPLIP website. In the end, I had to downgrade back to Linux Mint 19.3 to get it to work again. My printer is an HP Color LaserJet MFP281fdw.
