Recent HP MFDs all provide an AirPrint facility. The printing aspect
is fully supported on buster without anything non-free. I hope this is
welcome news.

It is also probable the devices have an AirScan service. No plugin is
needed to use that.

Bottom line: printing and scanning are fully supported by free software.
