You have put your mail in an inappropriate place. Firstly, this is a Debian bug report about the OfficeJet Pro 8710. Secondly, Mint will have its own support channels. Thirdly, it helps neither you nor us. As a Debian user you would have been advised to read the scanner section of the Debian wiki and to have made sure you had installed the non-free plugin from HP with the hp-plugin utility.
