Sorry, I did not understand the inner working of this enough. I saw that kde-systemsettings, kaddprinterwizard reads the cache file printerdb_cups.txt under my home for the device list. Adding a new item to the file makes it appear on the frontend. The other HP LaserJet printers, 1015 and 1022 are present in the hpijs.xml file, that is why they are generated into printerdb_cups.txt. But 1000, 1018 and 1020 use another driver, the foo2zjs. So, the real problem is how kdeprint interacts with cups, if I understand correctly. I will try to look after this in the kdelibs source package.
