According to the Debian package maintainer (Henrique de Moraes Holschuh) HPLIP 0.9.11, 0.9.10, 0.9.9 and 0.9.8 had some issues and regressions compared to HPLIP 0.9.7, therefore he has kept HPLIP 0.9.8+ from entering debian/testing.
HPLIP 1.6.7 was allowed to enter debian/testing since it fixes a number of issues for CUPS 1.2 and supports many new printers. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=361810. -- Please update HPLIP to 1.6.7 https://launchpad.net/bugs/51573 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
