Every printer that exists employs lpadmin with whatever utility is
used to set it up. It is basic, whether or not the device is just a
printer or an MFP. The hplip package is a convenient software but
completely unneeded for printing.
Don't confuse printing and scanning. They are separate processes.
With an HP MFD I'd give you that the libsane-hpaio package is needed,
but the hplip package is not required.
(Actually, with a modern MFD, libsane-hpaio might not be required).
