I recently upgraded an older Windows 7 computer to Ubuntu 14.04, and added a new HP OfficeJet 8600 all-in-one printer. The printer works fine, but the scanner is not recognized. Running HP-CHECK states that I am missing packages for PYTHON-SDK, and others, required for "scanner" to work. Can you help? I can scan using another computer, and USB stick transfer, but would prefer direct scanning.
Additional Information:
command sudo hp-check -r resulted in multiple pages of log
Initial display is probably the underlying cause:

The summary of errors indicates that there are some missing libraries:

Needed to upgrade HPLIP to version 3.14.4
had all required instructions.
Note the USB port on printer accepted scan, and I could see the memory stick on the main computer (through the printer's USB port. I cannot yet get the scanner to go directly to the computer, but using a memory stick in the USB port is sufficient for me.
