I just filed bug #867818, you should be able to reproduce it with the
comments from the referenced upstream bug report. I tested version
2.2.4-2~exp0 from experimental which also had the bug. Then I tested a
different machine running testing with cups 2.2.3-2, added the printer
via hp-setup and everything was fine, but upgrading to cups 2.2.4-1 made
the bug appear there. At last I tested a laptop with jessie and
LibreOffice 1:4.3.3-2+deb8u2 again with the steps as before, but the
printer was listed in LibreOffice and the GNOME control center, so I
believe this bug is not what I observe because it affects package
versions from jessie.

Viktor
