I am seeing this behaviour too. cupsd uses 100% CPU, strace shows repeatedly:

select(1024, [0 1 6 7 8 9], [7], NULL, {1, 0}) = 1 (out [7], left {1, 0})
time(NULL) = 1143159140

The fact that the HPLIP drivers appear with a manufacturer name that's not HP also seems to break with USB manufacturer detection - I'm only showed a list of "HP" printers, which doesn't include my printer, which is in the HP (HPLIP) pseudo-manufacturer. The solution to both might be to merge the HPLIP printers into HP.
