UPDATE: googling around, I found a workaround for the HPLIP icon in the 
systray:

- Copy the hplip-systray.desktop from /etc/xdg/autostart to
~/.config/autostart, then edit it to make it like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.6
Type=Application
Name=HP System Tray Service
GenericName=Printer Status Applet
Comment=HP System Tray Service
Exec=sleep 20;hp-systray -x &
Icon=/usr/share/hplip/data/images/128x128/hp_logo.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Application;Utility;
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
StartupNotify=false
TerminalOptions=
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=


This is a workaround, but it works for me :)

Ciao
