Yes, that was my workaround I found after I posted my question.
Preview>File>import from HP
Now it’s just a matter of curiosity, did the new OS change the pathway I previously used?
lt was Search>scan>printer and scanner>scan if I remember correctly.
I don’t really need an answer, it’s just another example of software engineering that doesn’t always provide intuitive pathways.

Are you able to Scan using Preview or Image Capture...?

Most manufacturers have adopted AirPrint and are dropping support for old printers, drivers and software. Plus macOS updates and upgrades are notoriously for breaking the old drivers and software.
