On a sid machine with only printer-driver-hpijs and hplip-data:

 brian@desktop3:~$ /usr/lib/cups/driver/hplip-data cat hplip-data:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-psc_1300_series-hpijs.ppd | grep cupsFilter
 *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 foomatic-rip-hplip"
 *cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip-hplip"/

jessie gives foomatic-rip in the lines.
