So it wouldn't uninstall the package when I went to update the system, I wouldn't have to force version first or something rolfie?

Thank you very much for everyone's contributions. Without you I would not have solved the problem.

Indeed, I added the repository with the ceres version to the sources.list and was able to install hplip. The printer worked. In the synaptic configuration I chose to prefer the testing version to avoid upgrading to the experimental version. I don't know if this would not require unchecking the ceres repository from the sources.list. If I didn't do something stupid I think I can mark the thread as ‘solved’. What do you guys think?

If the problem was generated when I switched to the ‘testing’ version, I will try to fix it, not self-punish ;-)
is it possible to install hplip and its dependencies by adding the ceres repository just for that and then unmark it?

Actually both packages, hplip and libsane-hpaio are in both the stable and experimental versions but not in testing. :-(

I think this is not a good idea. It seems that hplip is walking dead according to this post.

The replacement seems to be libsane-hpaio but I can't get it installed either.

I recently switched to the Excalibur distribution. I have an HP Officejet 9010 printer and I can't get it to work. I see that the hplip package is not in the testing version of debian (trixie) either. How can I fix this?
