HPLIP for debian 9.9

Hi,

We will support Debian 9.9 in future releases.

Thanks,
Shivani

Good news.
Which timing ? 1 month ? 6 month ? 1 year ?
Just to know it if I can wait or find other solutions (new OS system with VM).

Hello Shivani, when do you expect the new release of HPLIP which supports Debian 9.9 will be available?

I have Debian 9.9 installed & when I attempt to auto install for Debian 9.8 I get the following dependency errors.
Is there a workaround you could suggest until the new release is available?

Thank you, PL
