How did you install the printer? Those files seem to come from the untar-
ed hplip package :-?
Just a quick note: unless you need the "hplip" package for some specific
reason your printer can be configured from CUPS web interface (http://
localhost:631) using "foo2zjs" drivers, meaning that you don't need hplip
at all.
