Have you tried restarting cups? (sudo sh /etc/init.d/cups restart). If that 
works, then it is likely a problem with the order in which daemons are being 
started at boot (which could in principle affect some HP printers). If that is 
your problem it might be fixed by adding "sh /etc/init.d/cups restart" to 
/etc/rc.local.

The only other remotely rational culprit I can think of would be your printer 
settings being symlinked into a directory in /tmp and /var/tmp, which would be 
a fairly effective way of losing settings on reboot (especially if they are ram 
disks).
