Description Zdenek Dohnal 2020-06-18 07:54:04 UTC 
The newest version of hplip turns off plugin requirements for most printers.

If the plugin wasn't installed in the past on the machine, it negatively affects HPLIP supported queues:

- printing for devices which need a plugin for printing
- scanning for all devices which uses HPLIP

I currently reverted the change, but it should be upstreamed - I reported it as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/1883898 .
Comment 1 Zdenek Dohnal 2020-06-24 04:33:23 UTC 
Reported UPSTREAM, we have a downstream patch for it for now.
