Make me want to throw your laptop out of my window :)
You can ping your printer, so I'd want to know what network traffic
is going/coming from cups/hplip, if any. (I really like ngrep because
it's absolutely trivial to use, so that's the tool I would use.)
I saw this simple test on the hplip debugging website:
Determine the IP address of your printer by printing out the network
configuration page (or if you know it or can determine it in another way)
Run:
$ hp-makeuri <ip-address>
For example:
$ hp-makeuri 192.168.1.1
This will result in a device URI printed to the console. For example:
hp:/net/Officejet_9100_series?ip=192.168.1.1
Copy this device URI
Open the CUPS UI:
http://localhost:631
(or YasT, etc) and install the printer by pasting the generated URI.
I noticed that your hp:/<etc> URI looks reasonable, but I'd try using
the ip address directly as an experiment. It's very quick even if
it's useless :)
