cups is hard and you're going to have to dig in to the upstream docs,
debug logs, etc.

Often people install cups-filters.

I think hllip wants to use ugen, not ulpt.   Thus you might try
disabling ulpt in boot -c, or removing it from your kernel.   I'm doing
that with Laserjet 1310 (which was a really great printer in 2006, and
to HP's credit, still prints today).

read the cups logs.  enable debugging.  use the 'print test page' from
cups UI.
