Thank you for your report and help, Brad.
Extensive discuussion on this issue has taken place at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/03/msg00106.html
Debugging has been carried out from
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/03/msg00116.html
onwards.
Summary:
* The filtering system works.
* An hpcups raster file sent directly to the printer prints.
* The same file sent with lp -o raw fails to print.
The conclusion at the present time is that the hp backend is failing.
I thought at first it might be #932246
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=932246
but there is no sign it is involved.
(The previous mail? Y is three keys fom E. I still managed to hit the
wrong one).
