Have you read http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/distros/mac.html ? hplip is designed only for Linux. It needs low level access to I/O that won't work on OS X and would need to be ported to use IOKit.framework. If you just want the printer drivers, Fink already has an hpijs package. But the scanner software is a no-go.
