There's an old hp-laserjet-2100m still going strong here: works completely fine 
with just cups - we don't use any of the hplip stuff. So, I might not be able 
to address the exact error-messages that you're seeing, directly: but, have you 
checked some of the basic things, as follows.


Is cups running:
$ ps auxwww | grep -i cups
$


If so, can you connect to its web-admin interface via a browser: default is/was 
http://127.0.0.1:631/  ? If necessary, check cups.conf to see if that 
address/port is overridden.


What output do you get from:
$ lpstat -t -v
$


If you have lprng installed, then what do you see from:
$ lpq
$ lpq -a
$ lpq -la
$



Regards,
