I was using hplip until the printer failed.  My notes were:

Not sure if gutenprint is needed.

hplip needs net-snmp
   install fails with man pages (needs sedscript whatever that is)

hplip needs sane

Set parallel port capability!

Build with:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-pp-build
make
sudo make install
============
 From another user:

For HPLIP, I use
"./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-cups-ppd-install".

This is for an HP Envy All-In-One (printer, scanner, copier). There should be
no need for parallel port capability.  Gutenprint is not needed (I don't know
if it may be required for some printer models, but it isn't for me) and there
is no need to restart CUPS afterwards.
