For example, the HP M227fdn is listed Apart from HP and whatever support there is with SANE I cannot come up with a vendor to recommend who uses non-free drivers for scanning. > (https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/index) > as "fully supported" by HPLIP with no (proprietary) plugin involved, but > apparently that's only for the printer part.
