That's better; I can do something now instead of guessing.

After installing python3 from experimental:

root@test:~# apt install hplip -s
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hplip : Depends: python3 (< 3.8) but 3.8.0-2 is to be installed
 Recommends: printer-driver-postscript-hp but it is not going to be 
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
root@test:~#

Cheers,

Brian.

Just to simplify your check try:
piuparts --docker-image debian:experimental -d experimental -a hplip python3
It fails cause: "The following packages have unmet dependencies:
hplip : Depends: python3 (< 3.8) but 3.8.0-2 is to be installed"

Then if you just try to rebuild in this context with debuild -b -uc -us:
It fails to build cause hplip used improper way of checking python
usability which worked  until python38 - start to include python in
spec file.

See [1] cause we had the same include upstream issues.

Well. Your bugreport still is not actionable for me as maintainer. What do you 
see on-screen when you do this installation combination (ideally in a 
terminal)? When you say "not installable", what exactly do you mean?

Try to apt-get install hplip when you have in the system python >=3.8
(https://packages.debian.org/experimental/python3).

In this status hplip is not installable.
