Tag et kig på http://www.linuxprinting.org - foomagic.
Direkte søgning efter printermodel, her min PCS 2410, som der ikke 
findes en driver til, derfor PCS 2400:
  http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PSC_2400


Fra min egen Slack-cups howto (non-released:

-----------
Using http://scumbag.onscreen.zzz:621, I started off reading relevant 
parts of
  Administrator and User Documentation, then clicked on to Add Printer.

Neither this guide, nor the docs tell much about what's supposed to be 
filled in,
so I make a sample with what seemed logical - YMMV.
There was no driver for my HP psc 2410 Photosmart, so I initially chose 
HP 2500.

Printing a testpage made the printer react, but wrong = no print.
On www.linuxprinting.org, I located the page from where to search a 
specific printer.
  ( Full URL: 
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-PSC_2400 )
I then located the page using foomagic to generate ppd' config files,
and downloated a ppd for psc 2400 - the closest definition.
  ( Full URL: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=hpijs )

I didn't find any references in the docs as where to install the 
downloaded ppd file.
Turned out the belong in /etc/cups/ppd/ directory.
Would be nice with a tool to add new ppd's to /etc/cups/ppds.dat .
After changing the ppd definition in /etc/printers.conf to
  <DefaultPrinter HP-PSC_2400-hpijs>
I was able to print a testpage.
I then renamed HP-PSC_2400-hpijs.ppd to HP-PSC_2410-hpijs.ppd, to 
reflect the printername,
and likewise in printers.conf to <DefaultPrinter HP-PSC_2410-hpijs> .
