Install CUPS first, then go to "localhost:631" with a web browser.
Use the "find new printers" function to have CUPS detect the printer
and load the required driver automatically. You can supply a PPD
if you have one. It might be needed to install "hplip" or "hpijs"
or "hpcups" with pkg in addition to CUPS.

It's really easy as long as your printer supports standards.

You can verify supported device (by hplip) on this page:

I see a "HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515" All-in-one Printer" is
supported, but I only find the "HP Deskjet F380", no "L380" model
in the lists; maybe that one is compatible to something else, or
works with the "foo2zjs" driver package ("Splix")?
