There may have once been drivers for Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur. (Manual pages 8-9). The Mojave & Catalina drivers would have been Intel-only and almost certainly incompatible with an Apple Silicon Mac.
Pages 10-11 are a little more promising.
"The product is compliant with Apple AirScan functionality. Without installing any additional software, you can scan using Image Capture or other ICA-compliant applications.
To take advantage of all features of your scanner, HP recommends installing the HP provided scan solution, including HP Easy Scan and HP Utility."
