I basically do the same in Fedora - reverting models.dat to its state in
3.20.5, because I don't have resource to actually test.
I based my report on assumption you actually have a internal versioning
system (git, svn, bazaar, gitlab, github...) so you can revert commits
regarding the plugin
The attachment "0076-3.20.6-regression-In-models.dat-
take-3.20.5-s-plugin.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please
remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and
if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

In Debian, I have been successful with the attached patch against
3.20.9. It's basically a revert to the state of these printers at the
state of models.dat in the 3.20.5 version.

Hi Shivani,
I'm sorry I don't have such a list.
Did you have such a list when you removed the dependency on plugin for
other models in 3.20.6?
I base my request (revert all plugin dependency made in 3.20.6) upon the
following logic:
- when model support was added it was tested by HPLIP project
Hi Zdohnal,
We have reverted the changes only for the printers which are part of
plugin.spec file which are few old laserjets printers and which require
plugins to print.
Could you provide the list of printers on which you think plugins are needed?
I will verify and revert.
We have not verified
One concrete example: `drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-
laserjet_professional_p1107.ppd`
In 3.20.5, in hpcups.drv, it had as NickName:
"HP LaserJet Professional p1107, hpcups $Version, requires proprietary
plugin"
… this was changed in 3.20.6 to:
"HP LaserJet Professional p1107, hpcups $Version"

Hi Shivani,
version 3.20.9 fixed plugin plugin requirement for several models, but
other models stayed with the situation from 3.20.6.
And there are several models which have 'plugin-reason=65' (meaning it
needs a plugin for printing and scanning), but have 'plugin=0' (means it
doesn't need a

Kindly wait till next release.

Hi zdenek,
Could you please provide the printer model name you are using?
HPLIP does not need to install plugin in order to print. It only requires
plugin in order to scan.
Previously, few entities in models.dat had remained as plugin=1 , which has
been removed in 3.20.6 release.

auto-sync'ed to Debian.

@ seb128,
It was just my guess what can be wrong if plugin installation goes wrong
after removing python2 support in Ubuntu, based on my experience with
python2 removal in Fedora.

Hi, all I was doing was echoing what the consensus of opinion was after
upgrading to 20.04LTS, see
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/hplip-missing-files/21782 for more information.
If you think that the reasoning behind the opinion is wrong then by all means
offer an alternative, as I
@zdohnal, not having an 'unversioned' python is a choice and what
upstream is doing as well on the way to transition to python3 being the
standard

Hi Till,
the plugin has a script inside itself, which calls 'python' binary - we
have 'python' file as a symlink to 'python3' in Fedora, but Ubuntu seems
to do not have a such binary or symlink.
Seems like a bug for Ubuntu Python team, but it is still a different
issue than this one is, turning
Hi Chris,
I beg to differ - this issue has nothing to do with python 2 -> python 3
move. Plugins are binary blobs, not python scripts and installation
scripts shipped with them are python 3 compatible.
It is about HPLIP upstream changed the 'plugin' and 'plugin-reason'
entries in models.dat to
The bug report has an upstream task, so the HPLIP developers at HP
should be aware.
Seems that the main (free software) part of HPLIP which comes packaged
with the Linux distributions has no problem with Python 3 but the
proprietary plugin which one has to install separately for certain
devices
The issue which is affecting all flavours of Ubuntu 20.04LTS and HPLIP is
already known. In short the move from python 2 to python 3 in 20.04 renders
HPLIP all but useless as the scanning features required by HP MFP`s require the
plug-in which cannot be installed because the python 2

with scanning. According of hpaio code, most devices are using a plugin
