Bug#430429: hplip: new major version 2.7.7 available in Ubuntu

[peles@cox.net]

Hi all,

Let me add my voice to the kind request to package version 2.7 for Debian? 
Since this package is already in Ubuntu it should be straightforward (I 
guess). There are many new printers that do not work with the version 
currently available in Debian. 

You can also merge bugs #413225, #430429, #430456 and #430534 as they all deal 
with the same issue. 

Many thanks for your work,
Slaven
