I tried installing the then unstable version of hplip (the now testing
version). Still no go so may have to just file a bug report as
suggested. Maybe you meant installing the unstable versions of other
related packages such as hpijs, foomatic, etc, which I haven't
done.
This is what shows up in the log when I unsuccessfully probe
(hp-probe) for the printer

Jun 16 14:51:39 localhost python: [WARN] check to make sure your

I don't care about the remote printers (socket:,ipp:) but I don't
see why it can't find the locally attached usb printer,
usb://3845?serial=TH46T120QG040R.
Here it is as clearly recognized in /proc/bus/usb/devices

In /usr/share/doc/hplip/README.Debian, it says for step three of
the "Quick Install"
3. Setup your printer through CUPS, using the proper PPD
(installed by foomatic-filters-ppds), and the hp: CUPS backend
(installed by hplip).
Although I've already configured the printer with CUPS and the
printer works fine, I'm not sure what "...and the hp: CUPS backend
(installed by hplip)" means. I would guess that when I pick the
correct model of HP from the list within the CUPS web installation that
the "proper PPD" will be used. Not sure about how to make sure the
"hp: CUPS backend [is] installed by hplip".
Thanks!
