Hello Alex, and thanks for your bugreport, Thankfully, now with driverless printing [0] and sane-airscan [1], printers such as yours shouldn't need hplip anymore. (Also, hplip's code quality isn't monotonously upwards, so printing without hplip is often a preferable option). That said, the situation in sid and bullseye (current testing) is likely much better in these respects than in buster. Could you maybe test driverless printing, and/or sane-airscan? As for the backporting; thank you for the patch removal proposals. As I've just uploaded 3.20.9+dfsg0-3 to unstable; it should migrate to testing in about 5-10 days, so , if your testing isn't successful, I'll prepare a 3.20.9 backport. I'm testing a build as I write this. Please report the results of your tests if you have the occasion. Best regards, and thanks for your work!
