Title: [FFe] Request for update: HPLIP 3.20.3 Status in hplip package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Version 3.20.3 of HPLIP was released in March supporting these new printers: HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1200n HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1201n HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1200nw HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202nw HP Laser NS MFP 1005n HP Neverstop Laser 1000n HP Neverstop Laser 1001nw HP Laser NS 1020n HP ScanJet Pro 2000 s2 HP ScanJet Pro 3000 s4 HP ScanJet Pro N4000 snw1 HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow 5000 s5 HP ScanJet Enterprise Flow N7000 snw1 Version 3.20.2 of HPLIP was released in February but had a severe bug (bug 1866291) making many users not able to print. The bug is fixed in version 3.20.3. 3.20.2 got withdrawn on HP's web site. To extend the range of hardware devices supported in Focal we should get this HPLIP 3.20.3 into Focal. There is no file containing information about what has been changed or added in version 3.20.3 compared to 3.19.12. There is also no public version control system where one could see the changes. The only information is that the devices listed above are newly supported in 3.20.3. HPLIP 3.20.3 got already packaged for Debian Unstable and there is no Ubuntu-specific change left which is not contained in the Debian package. Therefore I request the sync of the Debian package (hplip_3.20.3+dfsg0-1) into Focal. I have tested this Debian package of HPLIP 3.20.3 now and it seems that it is working so far. I can print and scan both via network and USB and also start GUI tools like hp-toolbox and hp-setup. hp-toolbox correctly lists jobs, settable options, and ink levels and with hp- setup I was able to create print queues for my printer. My printer is the HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 which is already supported for a longer time and I do not see any difference, especially no regression compared to older versions of HPLIP. Logs of the package build with pbuilder and of the package update on a Focal system are attached. See comments below.
