The list of models supported by the installed HPLIP is always in the file

/usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat

Here you find USB IDs and also the model names of the IEEE-1284 device ID.

In general it is a good idea to set any USB device which is detected as a printer to the ownerships "lp:<group of current user>" and 660 permissions on both the /dev/bus/usb/XXX/YYY and /dev/usb/lpZ files as also non-HP printers can be a multi-function device or have ink level readout (like "escputil" for Epson inkjets).
