Yeah, when my USB printer is working the device list in CUPS is 
different (i.e., the printer shows up by model rather that not showing up).

For IPP the difference would be on a later screen, I think, but CUPS 
supposedly probes with SNMP (not something I can test) so you might see 
something different.

After you select IPP when setting up the printer did you follow the 
"Network Printers" link?  It has some info.

There are some pages that say the URI should end with lpt1.

If there are cases where you can't get to the web page on the HPS1P, you 
might try updating the firmware if you haven't already.  If that doesn't 
help maybe it's just dead and time to get a new one (you can try and 
return it if it doesn't help).
