I would go with cups because you could use the HP JetDirect socket
notation to connect to the printer. I believe you can do that with the
standard lp commands but I've not done that. It should be easy to set
up wth cups.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water.
Now you put water into a cup and it becomes the cup.
You put water in a bottle it becomes the bottle.
You put it into a teapot it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.
