For the record, the hp-doctor output *may* be a red herring.  It turns
out there was a typo in a directive in my cupsd.conf (from a bad edit).

It is possible (although not certain) that the hp-doctor/hp-check
reports of incompatible/missing version is not showing the root cause,
but is an issue with hp-doctor/hp-check that needs to be addressed to
avoid user confusion.

However, it may actually be a version problem as I discovered the typo
after reinstalling with 14.04.4 and getting a different error from
hp-setup and seeing the directive error in /var/log/cups/error_log
(which was probably also in the xenial logs, but masked by the fact that
hp-setup appeared to work and that other errors appeared later (closer
to the faulty result).

On Trusty cups refused to even start, leading to finding the issue, on
Xenial things appeared to succeed until actual printing failed.

Regards,

Daniel
