By "self-test" what do you mean?  Not something started by a button on
the printer presumably.  The "Print test page" button in the CUPS web
interface?

I was going to suggest application/octet-stream, the same as John.  Now
all I can suggest is having a look at

There's a bunch of HP-specific commands, e.g. hp-check, that may be
useful too.
