Just found this in in the FAQ, looks like you want HPIJS

Question: When would I want to use HPIJS instead of HPLIP?

Answer: There are several possible reasons:

   1. On a server where no GUI is present and only shared printing is desired.
   2. When printing to a SAMBA shared printer (using the CUPS smb:
backend, for example).
   3. There is a desire to have the smallest printing system possible.

Most people do NOT need to do this.

See the question "How do I install HPIJS only?" below, for steps on
installing a server setup.
