HPLIP adds HP printer using wrong hostname with mDNS

[gcc]

hp-setup outputs:

hp-setup[23218]: debug: addPrinter('HP_ENVY_5640', 'hp:/net/HP_ENVY_5640_series?zc=HP5065F3EF8CA8', 'Alpha Road', '', 'drv:///hp/hpcups.drv/hp-envy_5640_series.ppd', 'HP Envy 5646')

And adds the following entry to hplip.conf:

[last_used]
device_uri="hp:/net/HP_ENVY_5640_series?zc=HP5065F3EF8CA8"
printer_name=
working_dir=.

However this is not a valid hostname on the network:

$ ping HP_ENVY_5640_series.local.
ping: unknown host HP_ENVY_5640_series.local.
$ ping HP_ENVY_5640_series.
ping: unknown host HP_ENVY_5640_series.
$ ping HP_ENVY_5640_series
ping: unknown host HP_ENVY_5640_series

So of course CUPS and HP Systray can't detect or talk to this printer after installation.

What would be valid is the MAC address of the printer:

$ ping HP5065F3EF8CA8.local.
PING HP5065F3EF8CA8.local. (192.168.0.102) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from HP5065F3EF8CA8.local (192.168.0.102): icmp_req=1 ttl=255 time=2.70 ms
64 bytes from HP5065F3EF8CA8.local (192.168.0.102): icmp_req=2 ttl=255 time=2.27 ms

So I think hp-setup should have used this hostname in hplip.conf and in CUPS instead.

$ hp-check -t

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

[gcc (chris+ubuntu-qwirx)]

I think the hostname/ZC part is OK, it's actually the model name that's wrong. I get the following error in the system logs when I try to print to the printer, and nothing happens:

Oct 10 13:07:09 lap-x201 hp[27866]: io/hpmud/jd.c 808: In while after select ret=1 maxfd=6 tmo=16
Oct 10 13:07:09 lap-x201 hp[27866]: io/hpmud/jd.c 197: invalid uri model HP_ENVY_5640_series != ENVY_5640_series
Oct 10 13:07:09 lap-x201 hp[27866]: prnt/backend/hp.c 824: ERROR: open device failed stat=4: hp:/net/HP_ENVY_5640_series?zc=HP5065F3EF8CA8

If I maunally edit the printer URL in CUPS to remove the HP_ from the model name, like this:

hp:/net/ENVY_5640_series?zc=HP5065F3EF8CA8

Then it prints fine, but unfortunately the HP printer tools will no longer recognise the printer, so I can't check it's status or scan (not that I could before either, but at least it recognised that the printer existed, which it no longer does).
