Public bug reported:
The hplip 3.17.10 version available in bionic is too old to support
recent low cost, consumer grade HP printers. For example, HP LaserJet
MFP M28 is supported only from hplip version 3.18.3 up. Meaning, the
current LTS release for widely available peripherals.
AFAICT, there's no other versions in bionic-updates nor bionic-
backports. Focal is currently at 3.19.12.
Not having a newer version available from the repositories, the users
need to download and install the driver directly form HP's support site,
or hunt down a random PPA that built hplip for Bionic.
Please consider adding a more recent version of hplip to bionic-
backports, so that the users don't have to deal with installing those
drivers from random unverified sources.
