Did you delete the printer driver or the print queue The latter is a common name for what gets set up when you "install a printer" to an OS. To actually delete the driver file would take a bit of digging.

Have you tried installing the printer using the Ubuntu utility or the web interface? (http://localhost:631)

What happens when you run hp-setup (in a terminal, as your user)? Post up any errors you see.

It looks as though you need to run "hp-setup --qt3" as it natively looks for QT4. If you aren't using KDE4, you won't have it.

automatic, no
testpage:
Parallel, choose $ hp-setup -i -b par
device:

Notes:
1. If no serial number, USB ID, IP, or device node is specified, the USB and parallel busses will be probed for devices.
2. Using 'lsusb' to obtain USB IDs: (example)
$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 011: ID 03f0:c202 Hewlett-Packard
$ hp-setup --auto 003:011
(Note: You may have to run 'lsusb' from /sbin or another location. Use '$ locate lsusb' to determine this.)
3. Parameters -a, -f, -p, or -t are not valid in GUI (-u) mode.

Sounds as though you have removed the print queue rather than the whole printer. Follow these instructions to add the queue back http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Printers and see also http://wiki.ubuntu-za.org/HowTo:Printers and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers (this will give more info on HP printers).

Do you get any errors? Have you looked at http://localhost/:631 and what happens when you try to set up the printer using the Gnome system admin tools? Post up error messages/screen shots so we can see what's happening.
