That plotter should be 
natively supported by latest Hplip.

You are missing the "ps".

The T770ps printer is a T770 printer with an additional postscript option.

Well, that's the driver you're using.

Please report a bug against the 'hplip' component in bugzilla:

Assuming that system-config-printer is automagically finding the
postscript driver...

I just looked through the available printers and it doesn't appear to
have a non-ps driver for that particular model. You might try using
one of the other non-ps drivers and see if it works well enough for
your needs.
