Comment 1 for bug 1852030

I am unable to use my scanner after upgrading to ubuntu 19.10. Hplip-3.19.11 fails to install python-zbar

My printer/scanner is HP MFP M281fdn

Attempting to install python-zbar, it is not avalable:

rowland@rowland-HP-Magic:~$ sudo apt-get install python-zbar
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package python-zbar is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python-zbar' has no installation candidate
rowland@rowland-HP-Magic:~$

Thank you for whoever can help on this
