Last month... I was able to scan and a prompt would appear to flip the pages and scan the other side. Suddenly this prompt is no longer working... I have uninstalled the software and the printer a couple times now... but I still have no prompt. I have seen others with the issue but I do NOT see a resolution.

Thank you for reaching HP Community. I would be happy to help!
Try to make a copy on 2side and check if it works.
If the copy is working fine follow the below instruction to resolve the issue.
I recommend you delete the driver at the root level and Install the drivers, follow the steps below:
Remove the USB if connected
1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features
2.) Select your HP Printer
3.) Select Uninstall
4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers
5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose `Delete' or `Remove Device'
6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between "printui.exe" and "/s")
8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab
9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom
10.) Select Ok
11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows
12.) Close Devices and Printers
Then, Click on this link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-officejet-pro-8020-all-in-one-printer-series/242...
Try to print.
