I have an HP1020 laser printer and don't use HPLIP. Here's my CUPS
setup

Description:	HP LaserJet 1020
Location:	
Driver:	HP LaserJet 1020 Foomatic/foo2zjs-z1 (recommended)
(grayscale)
Connection:	usb://HP/LaserJet%201020?serial=JL1F0DC
Defaults:	job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in
sides=one-sided

When printing a test page I have this in my syslog

localhost foo2zjs-wrapper: foo2zjs-wrapper -z1 -P -L0 -r1200x600 -p1
-T3 -m1 -s7 -n1
localhost foo2zjs-wrapper: gs -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600
-r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw -dCOLORSCREEN -dMaxBitmap=500000000
localhost foo2zjs-wrapper: foo2zjs -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 -m1 -n1
-d1 -s7 -z1  -u 192x96 -l 192x96 -L 0  -T3    -P

As I said, the printer works great without HPLIP.
