Thanks to Kris from Tucson Unix Group I solved the HP printer problem.
I edited devfs.conf  as perm lpt0 0666. When I entered the CUPS manager 
this time I was offered the choice of the printer on the parallel 
port(previously only USB and Network). On the next screen I was offered 
the choice of 20 different drivers.
I picked hpjis (the same as HPLIP) and printed the test page. Great 
fully functional with colors.
I also printed ps file from the command line with lp command (previously 
I removed native lp command from /usr/bin so that CUPS can take over 
with its own commands).

On the more sober note I could not get hp-setup find the printer this 
time either. I think it is worth playing since this is one of ALL-IN-ONE 
devices and I read that HPLIP support scan option as well. These kind of 
parallel port scanners are not detected by Sane.
