Gnome-Shell has a plugin for this, look at 
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1497/topicons-redux/  I think 
that's the plugin that's doing it it works fine for me, or you can use 
my plugin https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1339/hplip-menu/ it 
will do most of what the hp-lip tray icon hp-systray does, like launch 
the hp manager it also launches the the cups print dialogs   etc and 
some more setup stuff
