Can't really help here, cause I haven't got any knowledge around this package and printers in general.

But are we sure this package is broken? Can anyone else replicate?

Maybe you would have better support opening a forum thread over this.

I have asked him to report this as broken, as I couldn't help him fix
the situation.

I see a new version is out also: 3.12.9. This package was last updated 3months ago, pacman -Sii says nothing depends on hplip.

But ofc, no idea if this issue would be resolved in this version. How can we check this is not upstream?
