Okay, this looks typical except that you don't have the full networking
part of the driver.
It's recommended that you download and install the Solution:
Completely remove hplip and hplip-data (also completely removed hpijs,
foomatic-db-hpijs and hpijs-ppds),
downloaded hplip-2.8.7.run from hplip.sourceforge.net and ran the automatic
installer.
Note that there are 7 missing "optional" dependencies which it
automatically downloaded & installed; two of these were marked as "REQUIRED
dependency for option 'network'", so attend carefully as you install.
After building, a setup wizard runs which did almost everything by itself
(but for some reason doesn't find the printer by itself - you will have to
enter its ip address manually), whereupon it will give you a choice of 2
drivers - choose the first one that is listed (not the one called
'recommended').
Printing to this printer now should to work perfectly.
Go into the CUPS "modify printer" process to see what is are now 2 new
items listed in the "device" drop-down menu that were not there before:
HP Fax (HPLIP)
HP Printer (HPLIP)
Also, the device uri that the wizard entered is now:
hp:/net/Photosmart_C7200_series?ip=[my printer's ip address]
and the driver it is using isL
HP Photosmart c7200 series Foomatic/hpijs (en)
I was trying to use "HP PhotoSmart C7200 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
(en)". Note that the slight differences in upper/lowercase are not
accidental - compar';
