Why do you install hplip manually? It is in portage.
I installed it with emerge hplip.

its the way..
i think there is no problem with drivers cause i see some hp devices in my cups settings and have also tried gutenprint
i suppose that its the config or printer problem so if you have some manual to see or settings todo.. share

thx

They recommend the gimp-print driver. But I didn't see thät anything is written about a problem with hplip.
