I don't have hplip installed (which is a bit surprising, I had thought that I did), but this post brought to mind a changelog message I saw in a semi-recent upgrade. Checking ~/mbox for the key word I half-remembered finds that it was in the upgrade of cups to 2.3.1-5. The changelog entry for that version reads: >> cups (2.3.1-5) unstable; urgency=medium >> >> * Move towards driverless-centered installation: >> - Drop all printer-driver-* and hplip recommends/suggests >> * Cleanup all versions from pre- Debian stable >> * Bump S-V to 4.5.0 without changes needed >> >> -- Didier Raboud <o...@debian.org> Fri, 07 Feb 2020 17:08:48 +0100 and because of that plus this: <snip> > The report that CUPS is missing / non-functional strikes me as > weird, because it *is* installed and runs.

I wonder whether this might therefore be the result of a change in cups, rather than in hplip. I haven't actually had occasion to try printing since that package upgrade, so I don't know whether it's produced any behavior change on my end. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
