The fix is simple. The firmware uploader script needs to determine
whether usblp is loaded or not, and if it is not loaded and the CUPS
filter /usr/lib/cups/filter/usb exists, it should run a command line
like this ("1020" replaced by actual model number):
for uri in `sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb | grep -i
'HP.*LaserJet.*1020' | grep -v FWVER | cut -d ' ' -f 2`; do echo $uri;
sudo DEVICE_URI="$uri" /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb 1 1 1 1 ''
/lib/firmware/hp/sihp1020.dl; done
This goes through all devices of the given model which do not have
firmware loaded yet and load the firmware into them using the "usb" CUPS
backend. As the usblp module is blacklisted by the CUPS package, this is
sufficient to solve the problem.
