You can use system-config-printer or system-config-printer-kde to set up 
your printer just fine, there's no need to use the vendor-specific hp-setup 
tool.

Another reason hplip-gui is not installed by default is that the RH folks 
objected to a vendor-specific tool (hp-toolbox) being in the default menus. 
That said, hp-toolbox is the only UI which allows you to check the cartridge 
state or align or clean the cartridges at the moment.
