[Vittorio Beggi <1390724@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Solved with this workaround:

1) Install cups-pdf
2) Set cups-pdf as default printer (This builds the queue as expected)
3) Set  the HPLIP printer as default printer.

Now lpq shows the HPLIP printer queue as expected.
Printing to default lp works again.
