Some. Your best choice is probably the last of the three. It sounds like you are using the CUPS web interface to configure the queue. CUPS will only show you what each backend says about the device it has found (they are the three things you quote above), without making any judgement about which is best. If you use the printing configuration tool, system-config-printer, it will use the information at its disposal to pick the best choice for you. In this case, the HPLIP 'hp' backend is available for an HP printer, and you get more functionality that way at the moment -- ink level reporting and so on. Tim. */
