2021 MacBook Pro (M1 chip) can't find HP scanner
I am unable to use a late model HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1 scanner with a 2021 MacBook Pro 13" with Apple silicon.
After booting to safe mode, clicking Apple > About this Mac, under "USB," the MacOS (v11.5.1) precisely recognizes the HP ScanJet hardware as attached to one of the USB ports.
When one goes to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and click "+" to discover/add the scanner... nothing.
The HP Smart app found/added an HP printer, no problem. But it is blind to the scanner.
Likewise, the HP Easy Scan app doesn't see the scanner.
I spent an hour with Apple Support last night... no solution.
Anybody?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
