Thanks to Kris from Tucson Unix Group I solved the HP printer problem.
I edited devfs.conf as perm lpt0 0666. When I entered the CUPS manager
this time I was offered the choice of the printer on the parallel
port(previously only USB and Network). On the next screen I was offered
the choice of 20 different drivers.
I picked hpjis (the same as HPLIP) and printed the test page. Great
fully functional with colors.
I also printed ps file from the command line with lp command (previously
I removed native lp command from /usr/bin so that CUPS can take over
with its own commands).
On the more sober note I could not get hp-setup find the printer this
time either. I think it is worth playing since this is one of ALL-IN-ONE
devices and I read that HPLIP support scan option as well. These kind of
parallel port scanners are not detected by Sane.
