Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the
proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP
supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time
dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

Re: HP Network Printer Installation
Have you tried installing the printer using the cups web interface?
wiki notes you will be hit by a different issue but offers 2 workarounds HPLIP_Driver
Sorry I cant be more help beyond spotting the ppd was compressed.

Re: HP Network Printer Installation
As "loqs" says, use the cups web interface.
Try following #4 on...

Re: HP Network Printer Installation
thanks to everyone that helped on this!
systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service and reverting the client.conf back to original worked.
