So, I don't think my problem with an HP (different) printer was the same
but figured I'd throw in my own experience. I couldn't get it to print
anything despite showing up in CUPS and seeming okay. I don't remember
the exact error. Something in a log about not understanding the weird
appsocket/hpdirect address. In the end by adding it, instead of through
some "hp" format address, as a "socket://<printer hostname>:9100" did it
finally work. I had no luck with the various hp- tools either.

Not sure if that help you or anyone else, but for posterity (for myself)
at least...
