Hi @Kailasam,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To use the scanner functionality of your HP LaserJet MFP M329dw on Ubuntu, you'll need to ensure that the necessary drivers are installed and configured properly. Here are the steps you can follow.

Install HPLIP: Make sure you have the latest version of HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) installed on your system. You can install it from the terminal using the following command:

sudo apt install hplip

This command will install HPLIP and any necessary dependencies.

Configure HPLIP: After installing HPLIP, you might need to run the setup utility to configure your printer and scanner. You can do this by running:

sudo hp-setup

Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your printer/scanner. Make sure your printer is connected to your Ubuntu system and turned on.

Check scanner recognition: Once the setup is complete, you can check if your scanner is recognized by running:

hp-scan

This command should initiate a scanning process. If it works, then your scanner is properly configured.

Troubleshooting: If you encounter any issues during setup or scanning, you might want to check the HPLIP documentation or visit the HPLIP website for troubleshooting tips specific to your printer model.

Alternative scanning software: If HPLIP doesn't work for you, you can also try using other scanning software available for Ubuntu, such as Simple Scan or XSane. These applications might have better compatibility with your scanner.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
