You have to download and install the plugin. It is not in the hplip
package. Did you?
Are you talking about the plugin for the printer model?
A long time ago when I installed hplip for the first time it downloaded
and installed something.
I forgot how I did that but the printer was working fine until I did the
dist-upgrade.
I'm having a hard time seeing where the bug in hplip is.
My guess is that the update creates that /var/lib/hp/hplip.state file
before installing the software and because of that it contains the old
version number.
I only changed the version number in this file and everything started
working again.
Best regards,
Martin
