I'm afraid yes because HPLIP uses launchpad to handle support questions 
and bug reports.

Well, HPLIP usually provide more options than the old HPIJS, but indeed, 
losing feataures (even they do not work) should be avoided :-)

As per HPLIP resolutions, if you examine the PPD file, you get:

***
*OutputMode NormalRGB/Normal Color: "<</cupsColorSpace 1/cupsBitsPerColor 8/cupsRowStep 1/OutputType(0)/cupsString0(PlainNormalColor)/HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*OutputMode NormalGray/Normal Grayscale: "<</cupsColorSpace 1/cupsBitsPerColor 8/cupsRowStep 2/OutputType(0)/cupsString0(PlainNormalGrayK)/HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*OutputMode DraftRGB/Draft Color: "<</cupsColorSpace 1/cupsBitsPerColor 8/cupsRowStep 0/OutputType(-1)/cupsString0(PlainDraftColor)/HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*OutputMode DraftGray/Draft Grayscale: "<</cupsColorSpace 1/cupsBitsPerColor 8/cupsRowStep 2/OutputType(-1)/cupsString0(PlainDraftGrayK)/HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*OutputMode Photo/High-Resolution Photo: "<</cupsColorSpace 1/cupsBitsPerColor 8/cupsRowStep 0/OutputType(2)/cupsString0(PhotoBestPhotoColor)/HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
***

So, 300ppp/600ppp are "hidden" but are there.
