I use Debian at home and need to grab a few other packages to get my HP 
OfficeJet working.  The other packages are hplip (and I think there is a 
data package as well) and a few of the foomatic packages.  I typically 
search for hplip in Synaptic and get the ones that look like it.  I 
really should write it down one day.

After you install the hplip and foomatic, you will need to restart CUPS 
to have it recognize the changes.
