The "command not found" is telling you that the file /etc/init.d/hplip 
does not exist.

Is it possible that you never actually completed the compile and 
install?  Did you run these three commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

The "make" command would compile the software, and the "make install" 
command would install all the various programs and scripts that are 
part of the software package.

If you didn't actually run these two commands, *don't*.  Instead I 
suggest you install the "checkinstall" package (via synaptic or 
apt-get).  Checkinstall will create a package (deb) that you can 
install (or remove) using dpkg.  The advantage will be the ability to 
track the package installation and allow easy removal (in case you no 
longer need it or want it).  I can give you some tips on using 
checkinstall, if you want.

If you're certain that you ran the "make" and "make install" commands, 
then I suggest you execute this command:

sudo find /etc -name hplip

and post the result.  For some reason the hplip script is not in 
/etc/init.d.  The find command will help you locate "hplip".
