Can I do the same with DriverlessPrinting?
It seems sane-airscan is not available on Debian 10, only on
Debian 11.
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!

My new printer, an HP 2700 series is only compatible with HP Lip 3.20.5+. This is based on my own tests where only half of printed pages are printed. This is also based on the upstream table <https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/supported_devices/i ndex> where it is indicated the "HP DeskJet 2700 All-in-One Printer series" is compatible with 3.20.5. What did I already do to figure this out? With the help of Samuel Thibault, I was able to recompile HP Lip 3.20.5 on a Buster virtual machine and I produced two patch for it. The patches are attached to this mail. One is to update the debian/patches/series file and the second one is to refresh the patch 0072 (just a quilt refresh on it). I initially would like to propose a pull request on Salsa but there is no branch to submit the changes. What my patch does? It reverts all the python3.8 specific patches because Debian Buster is based on Python 3.7 and because python3.7 library is named "python3.7m", not only python3.7. What I think HP Lip should be backported to buster-backports? I think it'd be really helpful for people would like to stay on stable with new HP printers which require new HP Lip to have a new version in backports. How do I check if it works? 1. I upgraded the compiled packages with the following command:sudo dpkg -iO .../*.deb2) I rebooted my virtual machine to ensure the new HP Lip version is loaded 3) I configured my HP Desktop 3630 printer (launched with system-config-printer) 4) I tried a print test job launched with system-config-printer 5) I tried a scan with simple-scan Result: Everything seems to work correctly. Thanks in advance, Alex.
