Bug#953104: hplip: After upgrade to version 3.20.2 of hplip, nothing can be printed



Package: hplip
Version: 3.19.12+dfsg0-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Running Debian Testing.

After upgrading to v3.20.2 of hplip, my system could no longer print anything.
Print jobs were being sent
to the printer (display panel illuminated to indicate something was
communicating with the printer) but
would never complete, and jobs eventually timed out with a communication error.

Downgrading to version 3.19.12 of hplip has allowed me to continue printing
again.
The printer is an HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium (an all-in-one-device)

It has been pointed out to me on the Debian User mailing list, that there was a
recent change in CUPS;

>> cups (2.3.1-5) unstable; urgency=medium
>>
>>   * Move towards driverless-centered installation:
>>     - Drop all printer-driver-* and hplip recommends/suggests
>>   * Cleanup all versions from pre- Debian stable
>>   * Bump S-V to 4.5.0 without changes needed
>>

which may have some impact on hplip and its interaction with CUPS.

Summary of hp-check runs;

The installed version (3.19.12) hp-check report concludes thus;

CUPS is installed and running, and cups-bsd and cups-client are both installed.
Installing other packages mentioned did nothing to improve the situation.
