> Anyone have any ideas on how I can install ........

Plug the printer in. Do

  lsusb

Note the Bus (x) and the Device (y). Find the CUPS URI with

  hp-makeuri x:y'

Run

  /usr/sbin/lpinfo -m | less

Search for your 8720 and and get the PPD (it begins drv://).

Finally:

  lpadmin -p 8720 -v URI -E -m PPD

Can you print now?
