cups + hplip is pretty robust. I can't quell my curiousity as to
why you would not want to use that solution, paticualrly for an
HP printer?

foo2zjs, I know nothing about, but it is masked in protage, which
begs the question (WHY) if it was once stable?

Some use foomatic. Is that applicable in your circumstance?
