I don't know. I typically add printers via the CUPS interface ( in the
browser goto localhost:631 ).
When I added the packages below, I get a long listing of the printers.
Make sure you stop/stop CUPS after adding the packages.
I did restart CUPS. It appears that localhost.... and kaddprinterwizard are
merely frontends of the same thing because both of them listed the same
DESKJET printers as available. Those printers are the 1500, the 1020, 1005,
and the 1000.
Perhaps I restarted it wrong....

I would just install all ppd files you see in synaptic. The two that I
have installed on mine are - foomatic-filters-ppds and hpijs-ppds. I
also have foomatic-filters and hpijs installed (along with the HPLIP
since I do scanning with mine).
