OK, my mistake, I had to set up the printer in GIMP again, not to PostScript2, but Deskjet 900 series.
There was another problem, though - when printing photos (large images), the print file in queue got to around 3MB in size and the print job would hang indefinitely, the printer blinking "printing" and nothing happening for half an hour. No error messages in logs. Sifting from HPOJ project mailing list, I found that in /etc/modules.conf, switching from alias usb-interface usb-uhci to alias usb-interface uhci and rebooting solved the problem, now happily printing. Don't know what side effects this could have, though.
