No, the hp: CUPS backend supports USB, network, and parallel.
Have you tried these steps?:

Also, you are running an ancient version of HPLIP. Could you possibly
upgrade to 1.7.4a?

Hello,
I have an HP deskjet 920C that is currently connected via parallel port.
Research said the hp backend which is needed for use with the
hp-toolbox (which is my original goal, to get this tool running) does
not work with parallel port printers, is this true or is there a
workaround?
My system: SUSE Linux 10.0 Cups version 1.1.23 hplip versoin 0.9.4
Invoking /usr/lib/cups/backends/hp does only give nonesense, so I guess
it is true, only USB connected printers work with the hp backend,
right?
Thanx
Malte
