So, what did I do? Downgraded to 3.17.10+repack0-5. Downgraded cups
too, to 2.2.8-5 (although I don't know if I had to; please advice, if
you can). Got a laptop running testing where hplip/cups works as
expected, almost. And the hack to make it work is here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=889468
This is just _one_ of the examples of how it it might look like:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1544912
And I experience similar problems. So, this a list of what I
downgraded:
cups-bsd_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
cups-client_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
cups-common_2.2.8-5_all.deb
cups-core-drivers_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
cups-daemon_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
cups-filters-core-drivers_1.21.3-2_amd64.deb
cups-filters_1.21.3-2_amd64.deb
cups-ipp-utils_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
cups-pk-helper_0.2.6-1+b1_amd64.deb
cups-ppdc_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
cups-server-common_2.2.8-5_all.deb
cups_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
hplip-data_3.17.10+repack0-5_all.deb
hplip-gui_3.17.10+repack0-5_all.deb
hplip_3.17.10+repack0-5_amd64.deb

libcupsmime1_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
libcupsppdc1_2.2.8-5_amd64.deb
libhpmud0_3.17.10+repack0-5_amd64.deb
libsane-hpaio_3.17.10+repack0-5_amd64.deb

python3-cups_1.9.73-2+b1_amd64.deb
python3-cupshelpers_1.5.11-3_all.deb
That's put on hold for now.
I got back printing and scanning functionality, but not all :(
The main problem with the hplip 3.18.10 is that hp-setup associates
the wrong:
Found PPD file: hplip:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_mfp_m28-m31.ppd
(which is not a _color_ printer, does not do _duplex_ and has only
_one_ tray, among other things)
with the printer:
HP Color LaserJet MFP M281fdw
It should be:
Found PPD file:
hplip:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-color_laserjet_pro_mfp_m277-ps.ppd
instead. This post:
https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?317915-Print-amp-scan-with-an-HP-Color-LaserJet-MFP-M281-(fdw)&p=1806395
could be another way to do it, but I don't know if that works with
hplip 3.18.10.
I wish hp-toolbox displayed like in attachment 1, not like in
attachment 2, but I'll live with it ;)
Any advise on ways to cleanup this mess is highly appreciated.
