Hello Martin. Thank you for your report. On Fri 27 Oct 2017 at 19:52:21 +0530, Martin Furter wrote: [...] You have to download and install the plugin. It is not in the hplip package. Did you?
Are you talking about the plugin for the printer model?A long time ago when I installed hplip for the first time it downloaded and installed something. I forgot how I did that but the printer was working fine until I did the dist-upgrade.
My guess is that the update creates that /var/lib/hp/hplip.state file before installing the software and because of that it contains the old version number.I'm having a hard time seeing where the bug in hplip is.
I only changed the version number in this file and everything started working again.
Best regards, Martin
