As far as I remember (but could never take the time to actively check),
the Debian Stable Managers were open to update packages in Stable for
hardware support (and "new HP Printer" would qualify). I haven't checked
the hplip code to see whether a full new upstream release would make
sense over backporting specific parts though.
tl;dr: I'd check with the SRMs first.

I don't have the capacity to care about Debian Printing backports, and
don't want to be a blocker, so by all means please go ahead!
The Team welcomes new blood, anyway! :)
Backports (or Stable uploads) for the Printing stack are a thing that
would bring a lot to Stable{,+Backports} users, but it's too much for
what I can do, unfortunately.
If you do upload though, please push your changes to a debian/$suite
branch on the VCS, and please (sign-)tag your uploads there.

This looks like a cleaner solution than kodi's, although we never really
know of how much use the -dbg packages are, anyway. :)
