I see, actually I believe you (because limited time I have). However, how is it then that: # apt-cache policy hplip hplip: Installed: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 Candidate: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 Version table: *** 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status and # apt-cache policy hplip-data hplip-data: Installed: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 Candidate: 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 Version table: *** 3.22.10+dfsg0-5.1 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status And it's all fresh in /var/lib/apt/lists tonight. "hplip" features in a few packages in: /var/lib/apt/lists/2s4yqjx5ul6okpp3f2gaunr2syex5jgbfpfvhxxbbjwnrsvbk5v3qbid.onion_debian_dists_trixie_main_binary-amd64_Packages # grep -B7 hplip /var/lib/apt/lists/2s4yqjx5ul6okpp3f2gaunr2sy ex5jgbfpfvhxxbbjwnrsvbk5v3qbid.onion_debian_dists_trixie_main_binary-amd64_Packages | grep -A7 'Package:' Package: education-standalone Source: debian-edu (2.12.15) Version: 2.12.15+b1 Installed-Size: 30 Maintainer: Debian Edu Developers <debian-...@lists.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Depends: education-tasks (= 2.12.15+b1) Recommends: cups, cups-bsd, cups-pdf, education-common, education-desktop-other, foomatic-db-compressed-ppds, hp-ppd, hpijs-ppds, hplip-gui, isenkram -- Package: foomatic-db Version: 20230202-1 Installed-Size: 12662 Maintainer: Debian Printing Group <debian-print...@lists.debian.org> Architecture: all Recommends: cups, cups-client, cups-filters | foomatic-filters, foomatic-db-engine, ghostscript, printer-driver-all Suggests: cups-filters, hplip, hplip-cups, openprinting-ppds -- but I don't have any of them installed. I don't know what pulled hplip. It's years ago that I use this printer, who remembers.

I can try and see if I can try and go driverless... But to do that it's days from now, at least... That's hours of work... And...

Those lines in term.log look ugly to me, apt usually does not talk like that without a reason. I don't know. Maybe somebody uses this printer on Debian and has some advice... Thank you for your time!
