Hi,I am maintainer of the HPLIP package of Ubuntu and I had updated it already to 3.24.x, while at Debian no update had happened and even that I had informed the Debian maintainers that I have updated on Ubuntu, they did not overtake my updated package to Debian. There are also already bug reports in Debian's bug tracker about the need of an update, especially also for the current Python and GCC versions.
So I am CCing now Thorsten Alteholz, Debian maintainer for HPLIP and also the Debian Printing Team.
Thorsten, could you update Debian's HPLIP to the current upstream version?Also the freezes for the next release of Debian will start in March, so it would be nice to do not have a 2022 version of HPLIP in a 2025 release of Debian.

Hello. I noticed you have recently contributed to Ubuntu's hplip package and you are listed as a maintainer of the Debian package. Is there anything you can do for the Debian hplip package? It is out of date (stuck on 3.22.x), and serious bugs (py 3.13 and gcc14) have caused it to be removed from testing. It looks like there are patches for the issues waiting to be merged in salsa to at least fix the current package. If you could move anything along, I know at least a few sid users who would be grateful. Thanks, and if this out of your control, forgive me for nagging.
