you can check out which URI type was used to configure the printers through the CUPS webinterface (http://localhost:631 and then Printers).
Also, if you launch gnome-cups-manager from a terminal, it gives the URI of each printer. Since you used the JetDirect backend, you will see something similar to:
As said before, one issue is being able to configure the HPLIP backend from gnome-cups-manager and another issue is that the printer actually works (or not) with HPLIP.
I guess you are saying that with Dapper Beta2 there is no way to configure a printer to use the HPLIP backed from gnome-cups-manager. That is the relevant part for this bug report.
Now, as an off-topic, the reasons why your printer may not work under HPLIP may be:
* A bug in HPLIP. You should report it to one of the HPLIP mailing lists, or send an email to <email address hidden> (http://hplip.sourceforge.net/faqs.html). I would recommend you include the output of whatever command fails adding the option -ldebug, such as, "hp-info -ldebug".

Now, as an off-topic, the reasons why your printer may not work under HPLIP may be:
* Your printer is not supported. This does not seem to be the case http:// hplip.sourcefor ge.net/ supported_ devices/ index.html.
* Support for your printer is not available in HPLIP's version in Dapper (0.9.8). You may try the latest version HPLIP 0.9.10 from http:// sourceforge. net/project/ showfiles. php?group_ id=149981 hplip.sourcefor ge.net/ install/ step2/ubuntu510 .html)
