The point is you don't need to set up a printer on the laptop.  If you
have everything configured right it will appear there automatically.

Best to avoid hp-setup I think.

HPLIP has several parts:

hpijs is the printer driver for many HP printers
hplip contains the 'hp' backend for CUPS, for low ink reporting etc
hp-toolbox and hp-setup are, largely speaking, just HP-specific versions
of system-config-printer
hp-systray is just an HP-specific version of
system-config-printer-applet
