Not to me.  I notice you have a ppd available in /usr/share/ppd/hplip,
which means you should be able to get it working by just following the
printer set up dialog.  When you have the printer on, what do you see
when you open a command terminal and enter # hp-info.  Among the
scrolling info should be a line showing "using device" and this is the
device URL you have to use when you set up your printer (either on
cups or kprinter add printer dialog).

Mine looks like:

# hp-info

 Using device: hp:/usb/PSC_1400_series?serial=CN58N2217S04GM
