Unfortunately this is still a minor problem. It would be nice to not have hplip clutter people's home directories.

According to Freedesktop specification it should be put in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (if removing this folder will impact the user) or in $XDG_CACHE_HOME (if it's there only for performance reason). Personnally, I don't see any difference if I plug my printer after removing this folder so I suggest that it should be put in $XDG_CACHE_HOME.. If this folder exist to permit some manual tweaks, then it should be put in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME but should not be created automatically.
