Ok, so you want scanning support too, the original ticket looked like you want to get only printing functionality...

Fedora 33?

That's not that easy... sane-airscan isn't CentOS 8 because it wasn't in Fedora at that time. You can try to install Fedora rpm in CentOS, but it will most likely fail because of different library versions in CentOS and in Fedora.

So I see 3 options:
1) So you can try your luck with hplip regarding scanning - you don't need to install the device, just install plugins by 'hp-plugin -i' and see if it works for you (but I don't see the device in their supported devices list...)
2) compile sane-airscan by yourself by manual here https://github.com/alexpevzner/sane-airscan
3) wait for CentOS Stream 9 and migrate to it - sane-airscan will be there
