Hello,

Do you mean that your friend has a printer that is currently not
supported by hplip-minimal, but will be supported soon? (Notice that
this is less a question of Guix, but rather of the availability of free
drivers.)

No, that is not my question. At the moment he uses Linux Mint and I don't know how much he is able and has time to learn to configure Guix. So I want to inform myself beforehand in order to take the right decisions and help him to get Guix working on a new laptop.

automatically no - you may have to add the corresponding lines to the
OS definition, something such as
             (service cups-service-type
                      (cups-configuration
                        (web-interface? #t)
                        (extensions (list cups-filters hplip-minimal))))
and then reconfigure, then use the CUPS web interface to install the
printer.
