There's a package called foomatic-filters-ppds 
but apt-cache show foomatic-filters-ppds tells you that you probably
don't want this - instead go to 
http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
or get a PPD file from HP (maybe one came with the printer).

In my case, for ther QMS/Minolta Magicolor 3100 I found the PPD that came
with the printer (there are several; the one for Windows NT is supposed 
to be the best) far more featureful than the linuxprinting.org one.

But if it's a  PS printer, basic stuff on ordinary paper will work
anayway - PPDs are for when you want to optimize its behaviour for thick
or glossy paper or do double sided printing (all of which I do) and
other such tricks.
