I noticed the same issue a week ago when I tried to print something. I believe it was caused by the update from 1.4->1.5? I am not positive as I have yet to have a crack at fixing it since I found out there was a problem (busy busy busy). Within the next few days, however, I'll try to take a stab at it.
Also, note: I am using an Espon CX7400 with gutenprint, not an HP with hplib

Edit: Tom, what does your "/var/log/cups/error_log" say? I am getting a few errors, some with foomatic-db but one stands out:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')CGI] Could not connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
Google search doesn't provide much, so I am not sure what the next step is.
If you aren't getting this error try running "cups-genppdupdate" because I came across an error with this, too (solved by cp /usr/lib/libgnutils.so.28 /usr/lib/libgnutils.so.26). If you had to blacklist usblp make sure it is still blacklisted.
Reinstalled ALL it's components with no luck (cups, ghostscript, gutenprint, foomatic-db, gsfonts).
Edit2:
Huzzah!For me, foomatic-db-ppds were giving errors and CUPS failed to load the drivers. I didn't think of it before until after some dinner and a beer! If you are getting foomatic causing errors, try removing it altogether (pacman -Rns foomatic-db-engine foomatic-db-nonfree foomatic-db) and restart CUPS. I am not positive if your HPs need them, but my Epson didn't and I was finally able to add the printer again. Printed test page and all.
Connected my Win7 machine to it using IPP (through samba I always had bottle-necking) and printed a test page with no problem.
I hope this helps, Tom. If not I am still here to help however I can
