Package: hplip Version: 3.19.12+dfsg0-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Running Debian Testing. After upgrading to v3.20.2 of hplip, my system could no longer print anything. Print jobs were being sent to the printer (display panel illuminated to indicate something was communicating with the printer) but would never complete, and jobs eventually timed out with a communication error. Downgrading to version 3.19.12 of hplip has allowed me to continue printing again. The printer is an HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium (an all-in-one-device) It has been pointed out to me on the Debian User mailing list, that there was a recent change in CUPS; >> cups (2.3.1-5) unstable; urgency=medium >> >> * Move towards driverless-centered installation: >> - Drop all printer-driver-* and hplip recommends/suggests >> * Cleanup all versions from pre- Debian stable >> * Bump S-V to 4.5.0 without changes needed >> which may have some impact on hplip and its interaction with CUPS.
