Package: hplip System: Debian 13 (Trixie), KDE Plasma Printer: HP DeskJet 2700 series
After automatic driverless configuration via IPP, printing works but advanced HPLIP features (ink level monitoring, scanner integration, device status) are not available. The issue is caused by interaction between driverless CUPS configuration, ipp-usb service and HPLIP native backend. Disabling ipp-usb and manually configuring the printer using: hp-setup -i creates a queue using: hp:/net/DeskJet_2700_series This restores ink level monitoring over Wi-Fi, scanner functionality and full device status. This behavior is not clearly documented and may lead users to believe HPLIP support is broken or limited to USB. Suggest improving integration or documentation regarding driverless vs HPLIP backend configuration.
