Still a problem.
Arch Linux + HPLIP 3.22.10

Photosmart 6520

At this point in time HPLIP does not include a quality settings value (gone ages ago), changing the .drc file does nothing (it's overwritten with the JPEG setting), xsane advanced settings includes only JPEG compression (no "none" option), and hp-scan --compression=none reports "error: Unable to set option compression to value None"

A patch was posted 2015-02-28:

@HP: Please apply upstream.

Debian and Ubuntu users (and perhaps users of other Debian derived distros), would not see this problem since shortly after the patch was posted, because both Debian and Ubuntu have taken it upon themselves to apply the patch (it has _not_ been applied upstream).

However, users of other distros are not so lucky (e.g. users of OpenSuse, Fedora and Manjaro).
