I will also check to see if it is a problem caused by rebooting, Dad keeps rebooting his machine, while I do not reboot nor at work.
Presumably you've tried simply bouncing the cups daemon with: /etc/init.d/cups restartYou could also do something mind-blowingly crude like adding code to /etc/rc.local to reinstall the packages(s) at (for your father) boot-time or (for your work PC) to root's crontab at 3AM.
That might work around the problem long enough to hear something from the hplip or cups people.
