[SOLVED] Can't Scan with HP OfficeJet 4500

Question

My cups says at http://localhost:631/printers/HP_Officejet_4500_G510g-m this:
HP_Officejet_4500_G510g-m
HP_Officejet_4500_G510g-m (Idle, Accepting Jobs, Not Shared)
Description: HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m
Location:
Driver: HP Officejet 4500 g510g-m hpijs, 3.14.10 (color, 2-sided printing)
Connection: usb://HP/Officejet%204500%20G510g-m?serial=CN21CG201N05CQ&interface=1
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=one-sided
and it prints fine.
But I can't scan now. I could before. This is what I see in my terminal:
$ sudo hp-check

under certain conditions. See COPYING file for more details.
Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if
the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP
supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and
run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

Answer 1

In reality I couldn't print either. Not sure what really fixed it, but it seemed that adding hpoj from AUR and rebooting did it. I then readded the printer and now all works.
