Hi, HP changed website this week, which has consequences for getting hp proprietary plugin - it cannot be downloaded anymore for hplip-3.17.9, which is in stable Fedoras (f25 and f26) and Fedora 27. It means anyone, who has printer, which needs this proprietary plugin (there is the list, where some of them are mentioned https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/binaary_plugin.html ), isn't able to install this printer. Tool hp-plugin (tool which downloads this plugin) tries two url for download - first, the openprinting.org and then hplipopensource.com. Issue is that hplipopensource.com url doesn't work anymore after moving to new HP website and plugin isn't on openprinting.org. I reported it to upstream several times about uploading plugin into openprinting.org website, but without answer (probably because it was available on hplipopensource.com). That's the situation for hplip-3.17.9. Luckily, there is hplip-3.17.10 in updates-testing repository, which has plugin on openprinting.org. So if someone now needs to install printer, which needs proprietary plugin, please update hplip to 3.17.10 from updates-testing repository. If you have such printer installed already or your printer doesn't need proprietary plugin, this issue shouldn't have impact on you. I'm sorry for inconvenience (this issue is already reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1727628 ).
