If there is forget about hplip. Download the ppd and plug it in via the cups localhost page. Even if there is no ppd for that specific printer you can probably find a ppd that will work. I have an HP Photosmart Pro9180 for which there are no available ppd's, but I found one that works fine. You do have to make sure that you have all of the foomatic files installed.
