As I said in comment #4

The binary package libsane-hpaio DOES NOT depend on the binary package hplip, not even indirectly, so the binary package hplip can get demoted to Universe.

the binary package printer-driver-hpcups also does not depend on the binary package hplip, but printer-driver-hpcups itself can already get demoted to Universe as we replace the printer drivers by Printer Application Snaps (this driver provided by the HPLIP Printer Application, hplip-printer-app).

So hp-scan as part of the binary package hplip will go to Universe, hp-sendfax as part of the binary package hplip-gui is already in Universe.

Now, keeping CUPS as DEB packages for the time being, we continue with libsane-hpaio and printer-driver-hpcups in Main, but we can demote the binary package hplip into Universe, so the dependency on python-reportlab goes completely into Universe, eliminating the need of this MIR at least from the printing-stack side.
