Yeah, I know; Sometimes a lot of "cruft", or at least, what to me

For HPLIP to recognise your printer is *has* to be set up through the
HP device. For example, mine is named as follows (via CUPS);
hp:/par/HP_Business_Inkjet_1200?device=/dev/parport0

You can't, AFAICT.
I had to delete everything in $HOME to do with a previous HPLIP
installation, as there was a big jump in Debian (Testing) from v0.9.5
to v2.7.10. There were significant changes in the way it all worked,
which caused me problems.
