My problematic experience with hplip was with RH and Fedora packages.  
I don't remember if I tried with Ubuntu packages as well--seems to me that
with Ubuntu and its variants, specifically Lubuntu, it worked without
issue. 

With CentOS and Fedora, from time to time, I have had to download from the
hplip site and manually install.  Usually, with two different cheap all in
one inkjets, the problem was with scanning, though, not printing.
