Hi Matthias, does your printer need to run 'hp-plugin' after 'hp-setup'-ing it? Because if it is the case, your printer needs plugin file, which is shipped by upstream and hplip package only downloads it from their website. This file is new in every new version of hplip, so it needs to re-install package and plugin, unfortunately. I think even normal hp-setup has something similar. I know it is inconvenient to re-install package every time when you update, but it is only way I know.
Yes, afte every update i must install the needed plugin again but it is stupid while every other plugins e. g. gstreamer1 updated his plugins automaticly why not hplip?

You can blame HP for that. The license for the plugin forbids redistribution. We couldn't include it in Fedora even if it did, because it's not open source, but if it were redistributable, it could be shipped by RPMFusion. The bug I opened with hplip developers asking to relax the license a bit over a year ago is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1214318 . Basically, they said they won't change anything.
Thanks for info, Dominik, much appreciated. I am really sorry for these problems, but until upstream changes his mind, this behavior will not get better. Closing it as NOTABUG.
