HP scanner and missing package

Hi, i have an hp laserjet m140w. The printer is working and also the scanner until a month ago.
If i run hp-check i see two error:

 error: python3-pyqt4-dbus PyQt 4 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt4       OPTIONAL   4.0    -   MISSING    'python3-pyqt4-dbus needs to be installed'
 error: python3-pyqt4 PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x)   REQUIRED  4.0    -  MISSING    'python3-pyqt4 needs to be installed'

I don' t care about optional package but probably the required python3-pyqt4 could be the culprit? In my system i have

pacman -Qs pyqt
local/python-pyqt5 5.15.11-7 (pyqt5)
    A set of Python bindings for the Qt5 toolkit
local/python-pyqt5-sip 12.18.0-1
    The sip module support for PyQt5

Is it a package also in aur that can do the trick?
Thanks
Davide

Re: HP scanner and missing package

first find out what package owns hp-check:

pacman -Qo /bin/hp-check

then find out what packages it depends on:

pacman -Qi package_name

this can all be done simply with:

pacman -Qi $(pacman -Qqo /bin/hp-check)

No.

The printer is working and also the scanner until a month ago.

I assume something™ no longer "is working"?
Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 and at least describe the situation / symptoms as good as you can.
