I've not really used the hp-* scripts, but I have gotten an HP network printer
working with my systems using the following service config:
(service cups-service-type
(cups-configuration
(web-interface? #t)
(extensions
(list cups-filters foomatic-filters hplip))))
I'm not sure of foomatic-filters is necessary, but I also didn't do any
fine-tuning once I got my printer working through CUPS because of how finicky
they are to set up. HTH!
Cheers,
Kaelyn
