Hi, I’ve already tried from the terminal and it won’t let me install it, and then on the HP link, there’s no Rocky Linux, so what do I install, I tried with Fedora, and Red Hat but nothing, but maybe with epel 9, but which distribution should work, I don’t know, I’m trying them all, HP-LIP-GUI there is no trace, what should I do?

With HP printers, or at least the USB ones I’ve had, I have much more success with installing xsane for scanning with.
I know, I wanted to be able to do it, but it bothers me, I had read that it can be done, but I don’t remember, are there no alternatives?
xsane is the gui front-end, but there’s also ‘sane-backends’ in appstream (often installed by default). You can do two checks at lower level than xsane. Make sure scanner is connected and switched on, then as standard user:
If it’s using usb
lsusb
check that your scanner is in the list
Check driver
scanimage -L
You can also use scanimage to scan to tiff on the command line
If all of that works, xsane should also work.
