hp ijs .pet package

I think you need hpijs (extra hp drivers). Try installing the following - may not contain the exact driver, but may have one near enough to work. Also, try googling hpijs AND .pet for latest packages.

Hmmm .....

The hp d1520 requires hpijs/hplip 2.8.5 minimum, please refer here.

rcrsn51 has a small yet functional hpijs 3.9.4 (dynamic ppd) pet here if you're using puppy 4.21 ...

lluamco has a more comprehensive hplip 3.9.2 pet covering older cups v1.1.23 right up to v1.3.10 right here. It has several extra dependencies for multifunction printers.
