You need to install HPLIP on Ubuntu 26.04, use the command sudo apt install hplip hplip-gui in the terminal. This will install the necessary drivers and graphical interface for managing HP printers and scanners. More info in this article:

Installing HP printer drivers on Linux is simpler than most users expect. I leverage HPLIP 3.23.12 and the surgical APT method on Ubuntu, Mint, and elementary OS to get any HP device printing and scanning within minutes.

Your version of the kernel : Linux 7.0.0-29-generic seems to be old. In particular it predates the fix offered for the attack below.

Update your kernel if you can. In paticular you want kernel : 7.1.5 or higher.

ChatGPT could not locate a Ubuntu back port of the fix to earlier 7.0.0 kernel.
