The feedback I have always got when trying to install through foomatic
is 'no driver available', and having installed from the HP site driver
resource, I have always been able to get a functioning printer. I've
done this with this same printer in the past and been printing off it
successfully.

I go here:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
Which, after my supplying OS, version, passes me through to the
Sourceforge repository where I download the file hplip-3.11.10.run,
which I place on the desktop.
cd desktop
sh hplip-3.11.10.run
initiates the install. The installer recognises the fact that it's
Debian and Unstable, asks for the root password and begins the install.
Then I get the complaint.
I've tried it with the USB port connected and disconnected as quite
often with USB installs this will be the problem. No change in either
case.

None of these are just 'libusb' and I recognise some of those that are
installed already. There's nothing left in the aptitude ncurses
interface with any libusb description in the 'uninstalled packages
section. I've installed them all, whether they appear related or not,
in case of dependency requirements.
For example:
root@192-168-1-2:/home/weaver# aptitude install libusb2
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "libusb2"
Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "libusb2"
