You got at least one step further than I did on an HP F4135!

I finally resolved my problems by turning the printer off and deleting it
from everywhere I could find it - Yast, Cups, and HPLIB. I then turned the
printer on and let HPLIB install the "new" device for me. It set the
printer up for both the Yast hardware function and for Cups. The only
oddity was that TWO printers were installed - Deskjet F4100 and
HP_Deskjet_F4100_series. At least either now works as expected so long as
you stick to one or the other and avoid having 2 drivers fighting over one
device.
