My Brother "all in one" scanner-printer-copier was working fine for months with ubuntu 20.04 via USB cable. I can still use the laser printer, but the first time I try to start a scan, it makes scanner noises for a few seconds and then the scanner program (xsane, gscan2pdf, or simplescan) says
sane_start: Invalid argument
On second and succeeding attempts I get
'brother4:bus2;dev1':invalid argument.

Canon MG5370 printer&scanner is connected to the same network as Ubuntu 20.04. Using Settings --> Printers --> Add, Ubuntu 20.04 is able to detect this printer. However, when I try to "Test Print", nothing happens.
I believe this happens because it is using a generic printer driver. See picture below.

My Epson Perfection 1200U gave me years of service, using Document Scanner, but has now developed a fault.

I've just got a HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2336 All-in-One Printer.
And turns out, they don't have support for any Linux system. I'm on Ubuntu20.04LTS.

Although the printer is working, I can't scan any documents. Can anyone help me with this?

While I seem to get almost daily system updates, I have lost the ability to manually open the UBUNTU software store, (using the embedded app). The app opens and I can use the search box, all software store options do nothing but show the "busy" circle for over 30 minutes. I thought I remembered seeing a "populating catalog" box when you first open it. That's gone and so are all the available packages ...

I installed scanner software for a wireless Lexmark multifunction printer. I call up simple scan and it asks for a valid IP address/host name. How do I do that? I have restarted the computer and unplugged and replugged the router.
I wish to scan multiple pages with my HP ENVY scanner, it does not have a page feeder. I don't mind where the files are created or what name and type they are, I'll convert them to a single pdf file after scanning. Have tried:-
scanimage --batch --batch-prompt --resolution 150
And various other permutations but get scanimage: sane_start: Invalid argument all the time.
Any advice would be welcome
