After trying almost everything in earth, I finally try the power-cycled... a little bit different though.
I turned off the printer; wait a few seconds; turned on again. When asked to download the plugin, I decided to NOT let it (I chose the non-recommended option - I believe it is the last one).
Run hp-setup; choose the usb; voila: the printer shows up. (finally!!!!)

Hope it helps other.
P.S. It is still a bug though, in my opinion.
