This is a dist-upgrade issue if you upgraded from Edgy to Feisty, on a clean Feisty install this will not happen.

Please remove hplip.desktop and/or hp-toolbox.desktop from ~/.local/share/applications/
HPLIP Toolbox is hidden from the menus by default, you need to show it by clicking System > Preferences > Main Menu then select System > Preferences > HPLIP Toolbox.

Since hplip.desktop has NoDisplay=true we will always have to show it in the menus through System > Preferences > Main Menu which creates a copy of the desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ with NoDisplay=false.
So this is a bug in hplip, on a dist-upgrade hplip.desktop and hp-toolbox.desktop under ~/.local/share/applications/ should be removed for all users.
Reopening hplip task.
