I've had mixed luck with hplip although not with your specific issue. I would try to run the hplip utility you're using from the command line to see where it is failing but you should be able to administer most functions from the cups web interface. I had one printer that was said to be supported which I spend approximately 6 months on and off trying to get to work and never did(the printer did work on a Mac, just not FreeBSD). After replacing it with a different model, it worked immediately and very smoothly. I have hplip installed at other locations and it works well. > If not, try one of them. Hm.
