Bug Description

Need hplip - 3.15.2-0ubuntu3 backported as it includes a upstream fix to disable JPEG compression. The hplip in Trusty incorrectly disables the option to choose compression "None" for communication between scanner and computer. This introduces heavy jpeg artifacts which are undesirable. In Xsane main window you can reproduce the bug by navigating the window-advanced_options menu and see that only "JPEG" is available as compression, while "None" is not available. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/1245578/comments/12 .

Thank you for requesting this backport. As this is a bug with a targeted fix, I suggest following the Stable Release Update (SRU) process instead. I'll comment on bug #1245578 when I've uploaded the packages and the SRU team will comment once they've been accepted with testing instructions. Backports are really for new features, not bugs. In addition, if we SRU the package, many more people will benefit from the fix as SRUs are opt-out and backports are opt-in.
