I also have an HP printer and I have _never_ been able to get cups to 
work with it.  My only workable solution has been to use my other 
machine (an Acer laptop running windows-10) as a print server.  I ftp
files to the laptop and then print from there.

FWIW, it's HP Ink Advantage 2545, and connected ONLY via WiFi.

For me, cups is simply a nuisance package.
