Hp Device Manager: Plug-in Install Failed

My HP Laserjet Pro MFP M26nw worked fine with Ubuntu 16.04 but since I installed 18.04 only the print function works, I cannot get the scan function to work.

Simple Scan says "failed to scan" and the HP Device manager tells me: Driver required.

Clicking next returns: Failed to install plugin.

Running hp-plugin from the terminal and downloading returns: failed to load module "canberra-gtk.module". Plug-in installation failed.

Does anyone know how to solve this? I have the latest version of HPLIP.
