Re: upgrading hplip to newest version
Which version and edition of Mint are you using?
In general, if you are not having problems with your printer now, and you do not change to a different version or edition of Mint, you should not require any upgrades in hplip. The version you are using will keep on doing what it is doing now.
If you upgrade to Mint 9, the new version of hplip is installed by default.

Re: upgrading hplip to newest version
The missing dependencies are probably due to the fact that hplip 3.10.2 was released after Mint 8 was finalized and the newer libraries, etc. required by the new version were not available for inclusion in the repos for Mint 8.
You may be able to install them manually but this may replace some dependencies needed by other apps and cause problems in areas you cannot predict. On the other hand, it may work fine. All you can do is make good backups of everything you want to save and try the installation.
My advice is still "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". As long as your printer is working properly there is really no reason to install the newer version of hplip. You will get it anyway if you upgrade to a newer version of Mint.
