You are right about hplip; I don't have it merged (my system is mostly
stable gentoo).

I don't know about the DJ 2510.

My notes tell me :

  HP DJ 2510 : 131225

  Scanning doesn't work w Sane :
   hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet_aio/deskjet_2510_series.html ;
it uses 'digital sending' via network to shared dir,
wh requires much setting-up & lack any fine-tuning via Xsane.

If the situation has changed since 2013, I wb interested to know.

I have  hplip-3.16.3  installed, but not  hplip-plugin .
There's no stable version of the latter,
which wants to install/upgrade  16  pkgs & conflicts with other stuff.
