Suddenly my HP systray stops disappeared and stopped to work then I miss the practical HP icon to manage my HP printer.
am I guessing right that you're using GNOME, maybe with the "TopIcons plus" extension? If yes, then this is an effect of GNOME having deprecated the systray. See e.g. https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2017/08/31/status-icons-and-gnome/, https://github.com/phocean/TopIcons-plus/issues/91, and lots of discussions on the web.

The HPLIP oficial script version is also more recent in respect to the rpm package available on official openSUSE repository:
3.19.1 vs. 3.18.6-1.4
True. If you have a recent printer that needs 3.19, you probably need the "official" package. The reason that it's not yet shipped natively in openSUSE is that upstream hs started shipping a non-free library ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1785230), and dealing with that properly requires some efforts that nobody has spent yet.

Please be so kind to make a test for me on your hp-toolbox:
Go to the Printer Control Tab and as normal user try to Stop the printer.
Mine stucks, despite I added the user to "lp" group.
Have you reported this on bugzilla?
It could be this one: [Bug 1048177] "hplip device manager (hp-toolbox)
stalls trying to start/stop printer". If it's that, knowing that the
issue doesn't occur with the HP build is an intersting data point.
Likewise, that fact that Patrick doesn't seem to have the same problem.
Thanks
Martin
