I didn't advocated per se the installation of upstream package, the
point was to tell OP of it's existence, among the other things.
As I stated before, I never used hplip myself, but it's good to know it
is already in official repositories.

$ rmadison -s stretch,stretch-backports hplip
hplip      | 3.16.11+repack0-3      | stable            | source, amd64,
arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
hplip      | 3.18.12+dfsg0-2~bpo9+1 | stretch-backports | source, amd64,
arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x

I would recommend to install upstream package only if the most recent
version of it is absolutely required and I highly doubt it is required
in this case.
But even then, personally, I'd try to build a backport from source
package available from 'experimental' first, or build from a tarball and
use tools, like 'checkinstall', to make a simple deb package.
Those procedures are right thing to do, but it's for the users to decide
if they are up for the task, because these procedures often require
serious time investment and expertise.
