Adding these packages does not help.  I should note that I already
had "hplip" (not hplip-plugin) installed, and it came with a PPD
file that seemingly applied to the M209dw: hp-laserjet_m207-m212.ppd.gz

The "WWW" entry for hplip-plugin displays an official HP page that
claims to list all the HP printers that need the plugin, and the M209dw
is not one of them.

Neither the foomatic-db-20240504 and foomatic-db-hpijs-1.4 packages
nor their associated web sites seem to know about the M209dw.

Apparently the printer DOES support IPP and I CAN print to it from
my Android phone ...                                        -- George
