I've found that the postscript-printer-definition (ppd) files included in net-print/gutenprint work much better for me than the ones included in net-print/hplip, which is published by HP. I've also heard other people grumble about the quality of HP printer drivers not being as good as HP printers, but that's just hearsay :)
