Firstly, pls. accept my apology, I only have limited time. If you look up the systemd bug #1088401 that I reported, it was easy, and the dev figured it right away. But you never know how complex a bug will be, This one appears ugly...

I see, actually I believe you (because limited time I have).
However, how is it then that:
# apt-cache policy hplip
hplip:
Installed: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1
Candidate: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1
Version table:
*** 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and
# apt-cache policy hplip-data
hplip-data:
Installed: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1
Candidate: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1
Version table:
*** 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
And it's all fresh in /var/lib/apt/lists tonight.
"hplip" features in a few packages in:

but I don't have any of them installed.
I don't know what pulled hplip. It's years ago that I use this printer, who remembers. But surely that was the recommended way to do it in Debian...

Never tried.
I can try and see if I can try and go driverless...
But to do that it's days from now, at least... That's hours of work... And...
And the current 24.8.3 works flawlessly whenever I need it.

I guess that might be the case.

Those lines in term.log look ugly to me, apt usually does not talk like that without a reason.
I don't know. Maybe somebody uses this printer on Debian and has some advice...
Thank you for your time!
