Can we just forget about the bug you reported for a while and, to begin
with, get you printing satisfactorily?
Why tie yourself into the tyranny of vendor supplied drivers? Get your
cups back to 2.2.8-5 and purge hplip and everything it pulled in. Have
the printer on the network and doing DNS-SD (Bonjour) broadcasting.
Purge cups-browsed. Now do
lpstat -e
What do you get?
Cheers,
Brian
