When I got Woody talking to my HP OfficeJet G85, I ended up compiling hpijs and hpoj from source code, apt-get installed cupsys, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client and cupsys-driver-gimpprint. You wouldn't need the hpoj packages, obviously. The cupsys package is the main cups package. Cupsys-bsd is required if you want to have the print command lpr, for those programs that use it. Cupsys-driver-gimpprint is pretty obvious, as is cupsys-client. After installing all that, restart cups to make sure it sees the hpijs drivers (just in case you compiled it after apt-get installing cups). Then point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:631 and you can configure your printer. When it asks for a password, it wants the root password for your machine. Note: you will need to have any necessary modules already insmod'ed or modprobed, but it sounds like you do, since it's working as much as it is.
