@biopsin No, I don't mind starting from scratch... at least not now, I was a bit busy previously.

So, the hplip-plugin package is just a repack of the proprietary plugin from HP's site I presume (no source is available). Not that it makes any difference (at least not to me) if it's open source or not, just asking. So, basically, if I install hplip and the hplip-plugin, everything should be in sync when doing updates, no need to remove the printer and run hplip-setup so that it can pull the new version of the plugin from their site, correct?

I'll remove the printer and hplip/hplip-gui and see if it removes hplip.state, if not, I'll remove it manually. Then install hplip and hplip-plugin and add the printer via hplip-setup, see if that works OK.
