I would try first to get Cups working as it should, getting a 500 error
is not a good signal. If it's necessary purge the package and reinstall
it again. After that, I'd install the printer by using hpijs or hplip PPD
file, avoinding the use of hplip suite.


I had to do that last year, cups somehow got messed up & I could not do
admin from the web page. When you take out cups, it also had to take out
a BUNCH of other installed apps, so I copied those app-names to a text
file, so I could remember to reinstall them later, knowing aptitude
install cups would do it:)
and it IS important to note you need to PURGE cups, not just remove it.-
aptitude purge cups
