CUPS is totally OK, the errors come from HPLIP.

Debian folks should really update to the current version of HPLIP, 3.24.4. It
should be easy, just porting over the Ubuntu package.

And modern HP printers do not need HPLIP, they are driverless, for both printing
and scanning.

Till, if you're sure, feel free to reassign the bug report to CUPS…

Definitely not my day today.

Another hint:

If the printer is not too old and therefore works as a driverless printer, to
use it this way you need to have the package ipp-usb installed.

If both ipp-usb and sane-airscan are installed, the scanner of the printer
should just work, also the printing part. And you find the printer's web admin
interface at http://localhost:60000/ (http://localhost:60001/ and so forth if
there is more than one driverless printer on USB connected to your machine).
