[Till Kamppeter <1430561@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

note that manually compiling HPLIP makes it based on Python2 whereas the
packaged version is based on Python3. The proprietary plug-in seems to
work only in Python2 environments and so with the manually built HPLIP.

So to the HPLIP develpers at HP: Please make the plug-in work in both
Python2 and Python3 environments.
