Not sure about how to make sure the > "hp: CUPS backend [is] installed by hplip". Just last week I installed an new HP printer with hplip. In CUPS go to Printers. Then add a printer. Enter a name. You should now see a small list of possible devices, like parallel port. In my case at least: if my printer is off I see a device "hp no_device_found". When my printer is on and I try this again... O dear, I see exactly the same. :( Well, that might be because the real device is already occupied by my printer so CUPS doesn't show it as available. On the Printers page I see "hp:/usb/psc_1310_series..." as the device URI. If you take the same route I guess you will see something similar.
