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.
