This is how I got my HP DeskJet 5850 with IP 10.0.0.160 working:

1. Run as user the command "hp-makeuri 10.0.0.160", resulting in the 
output: "hp:/net/deskjet_5800?ip=10.0.0.160" (note the single slash).

2. Now install the printer, using System/Administration/Printing menu, as
a CUPS (IPP) printer with this URI, accepting the proposed driver from the
HPLIP brand.

You would have to use your own printer network address.
