When, eventually, all HP printers run driverless _and_ no no-driverless
printer exist 'in the wild', yes. Until then, I'd expect HPLIP to
remain. Debian is, after all, about choice.

....I try to not get caught out, but sometimes, things pass me by.
For example, when I installed the new printer, I was aware of driverless
printing, but didn't have time to research it - we had a backlog of
printing to do, and ppl were /screaming/ at me to be able to print.
This was family, BTW: *Far* worse than any employer I've ever worked
for. :-D
