I am trying to install my hp printer, but this shows me hp-setup:

I installed cups(

Code:

emerge cups

).
Then started it:

Code:

/etc/init.d/cupsd start

and also added it to runlevel default:

Code:

rc-update add cupsd default

set the printer in browser:

Code:

localhost:631

Then I used ppd file of cups(located in /etc/cups/ppd) and copied it to hplip ppd location(/usr/share/ppd/hp) and choosed it during hplip installation.
Now printer is working great.
