I would also look at installing the gs-aladdin package from the non-free part of Debian. It has a special HP Deskjet driver compiled into it. You can specify lots of features such as print quality, color mode, paper type, etc. See the gs-hpdj man page once it is installed. You then will have to modify your print filter(use magicfilter as others have suggested) to specify the options you want.
