Bug Description
HPLIP 0.9.7 is included in the Dapper repositories. It does not support the fax function of HP Officejet printers (feature introduced in 0.9.8).
The current version of HPLIP is 1.6.7, which switches from dynamic IP ports to static IANA IP ports for hpiod. It also cleans up hptoolbox, memory card access, and a few other items.
Building and installing HPLIP 1.6.6 from source does not go smoothly on Ubuntu. There are various script glitches, even following the Ubuntu-specific instructions from HP.

Could you please tell us more about your 'various script glitches'. I have successfully compiled HPLIP and I had no problem.
But, you are right, it would be easier that somebody just backports every release of the HPLIP.
