I did see the error but didn't find anything about foomatic-rip. It seems to 
be part of the /print/foomatic-filters port. After installing that, that 
error went away, just to bring another one into focus... Seemed that I also 
needed the /print/hpijs port. And after installing that one too, I can 
print !! :-)

So, to sum it up, to get an HP Photosmart 7350 to work, one needs :
- cups
- foomatic-filters
- hpijs
