Bug Description

After the latest kernel update I started getting a "missing filter" error for an HP printer.

>head /var/log/cups/error_log
E [15/Aug/2018:07:52:44 +0200] HP-CP3505: File \"/usr/lib/cups/filter/hpps\" not available: No such file or directory
E [15/Aug/2018:11:11:51 +0200] HP-CP35

I was trying to install hplip to overcome the problem but it seems that it has dependencies on the old packages:

>sudo apt install hplip

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hplip : Depends: hplip-data (= 3.16.3+repack0-1) but 3.17.10+repack0-5 is to be installed
         Depends: libhpmud0 (= 3.16.3+repack0-1) but 3.17.10+repack0-5 is to be installed
         Recommends: printer-driver-postscript-hp but it is not going to be installed

What shell I do now?
Thanks
