Setting up hp Deskjet 1000 j110 on Slack 13.37

[clickit]

I once had a test page printed out but had to re-install. Now trying to setup printer via Menu>System>"Manage Printing".
In order to proceed thru the various CUPS windows I used:
lpd://hostname/queue
for the connection which gets me to a display of the printer name, no description, no location and no sharing of the printer of make HP. But when I get to the model the list of models does not cover this one.
lpoptions -m shows:
drv:///hp/hpijs.drv/hp-deskjet_1000_j110_series-hpijs.ppd HP Deskjet 1000 j110 Series hpijs, 3.11.3a
drv:///hp/hpcups.drv/hp-deskjet_1000_j110_series.ppd HP Deskjet 1000 j110 Series, hpcups 3.11.3a
are apparently available but I could not locate them even with
find / -name "*series.ppd*"
I scanned:
http://localhost:631/help/network.html
for URIs befitting this printer but can find none.
Can someone get me unstuck from this situation?
BTW /etc/hp/hplip.conf was configured (automatically)
I would have used lpadmin but for lack of info there too.

I found that .ppd driver files were supposed to be stored in ~/usr/share/cups or ~usr/share/hplip. This version 3.11.3a of hplip is supposed to cover this printer since 3.10.9. I did find some .ppd.gz files but none with hp-deskjet_1000_J110_series.ppd which is surprising to me.
I found that the command hp-check -b should check that all files necessary were/weren't installed and setup. After running for half an hour, I gave up and ctrl-C'd it as the log was empty.

Finally solution found: turn on cups via rc.cups and printer. Then all parameters needed are shown for attached device.
