I would not have revisited this bug report if it had not been for

https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1840842

Now I find it is fixed. However, I feel like complaining about the way
the issue has been treated.

1. Bug reported on 2019-01-12; fix announced on 2019-07-17. A 6 month
wait.

2. In 3.19.6, models.dat still has "plugin=0". Why then is a plugin
required? Nobody has ever explained.

3. "scan-type=9" is still undocumented.

4. The Release Notes for 3.19.6 have absolutely no mention of this bug
(or any other bug) being fixed. Talk about keeping everyone in the dark.
I regard this lack of changelog detail as a serious defect.

5. Correct information about the cause or origin of the issue is
completely lacking. If upstream do not know, at least say so; we are not
mushrooms. :)

6. HPLIP is important, quality software. It deserves better.
