Have you tried updating hplip? I had a similar problem with hplip awhile ago. Printing just stopped, and it had been working for years. I finally removed all the ubuntu hplip packages and downloaded the installer from hp and used that version of hplip. Printing started working again. It has an automatic updater so I don't feel any pain from not having ubuntu update hplip as needed.
I am running hplip (3.15.7) and cups (1.7.2) together on Ubuntu 14.04. I have never tried hplip alone without cups. However, my printer is networked and not a direct usb connection to my laptop.
