I have installed two or three times, deleted /etc/cups and reinstalled the printer. It showed up as an HPLIP device when installing, w/ CUPS and/or the kde printer utility. NOtably the utility OR the localhost:631 interface did not show any option for a USB printer. The address that ended up being used was a usb:<printername>. When I get gentoo booted up I'll look at it again. For now, I have to print, so I've installed Ubuntu on another partition. Printing works fine there, so that's a start.
