Yep, same here. I read a lot of horror stories getting it to work, and
when I first installed hplip it didn't do anything until I googled and
found I had to run hp-setup with elevated privileges. I haven't had any
issues printing - hplip prints great with my CP1025nw.

I hate updating cups and hplip, I've masked newer versions and will only
update when I really have to. (Like another package needing a new
version of something-or-other.)

I'm using hplip on Ubuntu, Mint, and Gentoo.
