Thanks for the info.
HP is using a somewhat unusual version numbering. It contains of the
generation as first part, the year as second part and the month as third
part, so not as in cups-filters (and probably many others) bumping the
second part if a new feature is included and only the third part if only
bug fixes were done.
As HP does not restrict feature additions to the beginning of a new
year, they can come in any release. Their numbering does not tell about
feature additions (or removals).

Could you do the update in Debian so that I can sync to Ubuntu?
No. I've been witholding its upload on purpose, as it is severely broken for a
patch-level release:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1737675
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1737678
Could you also, if needed, update/fix the debian/rules (or debian/watch)
file? Probably the download path for the original tarball is not valid
any more.

Sourceforge is down, that can't work. :-(
