There is a ppd file for these series with the hplip distribution.
hpssd, cups started in the order needed. hp-setup detects the printer,
and then says 'Unable to create queue'. CUPS web interface actually adds
the printer, but then cannot print test page to it. cups user runs hpssd
(I tried root too).
/var/log/messages has:

Here is all relevant output:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

final piece of information: sane cannot open the HP all-in-one as a
scanner with same error (getting serial id). However, my Nikon LS40-ED (a
35mm film scanner) works fine. So the problem is apparently not my
installation or libusb.
I would not bet my life on it. There are two ways on which sane-backend
talk to scanners. Libusb is one of the ways.
I have two Epson scanners. One of them does use libusb one of them
doesn't not. How do I know. Well in OpenBSD when the scanner uses libusb
you have to remove uscanner driver from the kernel in order to use it.
Cheers,
Predrag

The Nikon scanner works, the HP device fails to return serial id as
above. _______________________________________________

I have a spare partition, so when I have the time I'll try to install linux on
it and see. This printer is listed as supported and 'working perfectly' on
linuxprinting.org
Also, I loaded ulpt and it is able to talk to the printer.
That is the whole point of the discussion. HPLIP is written for Linux
and at least my experience with HPLIP on Ubuntu you just plug things and
they work. So the problem is definitely not in HPLIP but in
configuration and possibly FreeBSD drivers. Using Ubuntu will also
not help you with FreeBSD configuration.
Cheers,
Predrag
P. S. One way of approaching the problem is to attach that all-in-one
device on Linux machine and use it on your FreeBSD machine via the network.
