OK, the script "hplip" doesn't exist anywhere on your system.

Ahh!  I see!  You downloaded, configured, compiled and installed
*hpijs*, but you are following the directions for *hplip* :

See the FAQ at http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/faqs.php :

Hplip includes the /etc/init.d/hplip start-up script, hpijs does not 
include this script (and that's why it cannot be found on your system).

Perhaps if you download, compile and install *hplip* you will have 
more success in achieving your goal?

Before you do this you may want to run "sudo make uninstall" in the 
/home/ccyao/hpijs-2.1.4/ directory, to remove all the pieces of hpijs.

I also strongly advise that you look into the "checkinstall" package, 
which is available in the ubuntu repositories and can be installed via 
apt-get or synaptic.  Checkinstall allows you to use the dpkg 
management tool -- this will make it easier for you to track the 
software you have compiled and installed and will make it easier to 
cleanly remove this software if you decide you don't need it (or 
realize that it won't work, etc).
