New HPLIP release 3.20.6 doesn't require plugin for printers whose needed plugin in the past

[Zdenek Dohnal]

Hi all,

I'm HPLIP maintainer in Fedora and I would like to ask *the users which
have HP printers which needed their HP plugin to test the scratch build*
of new hplip.

HPLIP released a new version 3.20.6, where most models, which previously
required HP plugin, were set to do not require plugin anymore.

Although requirement of HP plugin was questionable with some printer
models, other models may really needed it and they will not work without it.

Please try the following scratch builds:

Rawhide:

F32:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=45790902

F31:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=45790908

And if the update breaks printing or scanning for you, please let the
upstream know here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip


Thank you in advance for helping with testing!

And please don't try to reinstall plugin. It seems they haven't built a
new one yet or they aren't planning to.
