It is correct that hpiod is not there any more. The bug here is that the package update of HPLIP does not delete /etc/init.d/hplip. So error messages on boot should be ignored for now. Delete the init scripts with "sudo rm /etc/init.d/hplip /etc/rc?.d/*hplip".
To make sure that there is no influence of any old installation, reboot your system.

If the toolbox still does not start, try
sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/ python- support/ hplip/python2. 5/*.so
Does it work now?
