[Trisquel-users] hplip backports?

[djhood17]

I went out and bought a newer HP printer, but the version of hplip it needs  
to work is newer than the one in Triquel 6. I was a bit surprised this  
important bit isn't maintained via backporting in the update manager. Is this  
something that is going to be added in the near future, and what would be the  
most effective process for me to bring hplip up to date?

Thanks in advance
