Ok, well I do not understand, I just know my HP printer stopped working
when I upgraded to 21.04, and installing hplip from HP directly made it work
again.

@Robert : you misunderstood , the problem is not the version of the
HPLIP , but the conflict with ippusbxd on USB device claiming.
Auto configure usb printers is nice but we can live on 20.04 without it.

Well, I will just live with installing the package from HP
directly then, I don't like snaps, I disable them on my systems.

@Till: Would using the backports pocket be possible? If you backport a
package to a release where it doesn't exist in the -release pocket, it
effectively works as an SRU.

The problem is that we cannot add a new package to an already released
Ubuntu. A SRU (Stable Release Update) can only be bug fixes on already
included packages, no new feature releases of them, nor completely new
packages.

Why not just distribute the working version? The problem with snaps
is they screw the functionality of shared libraries wasting memory.

As ippusbxd by itself is broken, meaning that it even does not work very
well with the devices it is actually designed for, I am also in favor of
removing it from all still supported Ubuntu versions (especially LTS).
Then it does not block devices which could otherwise work better.
