Hi,

unfortunately, the HPLIP developers have discontinued the HPIJS driver 
already some time ago. Support for new models is only added to the 
hpcups driver. The HPIJS driver is still included in the package but 
only supports older printers and standard PCL 5c/e laser printers.

The hpcups driver can also be used without the CUPS daemon, but it needs 
the CUPS libraries to support the CUPS Raster input format. Ghostscript 
is not needed, you simply need to generate CUPS Raster for feeding into 
hpcups.
