The hplip-2.8.7 RPM at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/openSUSE_11.0/x86_64/
does not contain any init script at all.
See the RPM changelog:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Thu Aug 14 2008 jsmeix@suse.de
- Removed the hplip init script which is obsolete since
version 2.8.4 where hpssd is gone and replaced by
hp-systray, see Novell/Suse Bugzilla bnc#390663.

- Updated to version 2.8.4:
Elimination of all persistent startup daemons.
The last daemon hpssd has been replaced with hp-systray.
...
- Adapted the hplip init script to provide backward compatibility:
It still exists to avoid that printer/scanner setup tools fail
when they try to enable the "hplip" service but all it does
is to stop a possibly running hpssd.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original hplip-2.8.4 RPM in openSUSE 11.0 contained
a dummy init script to provide backward compatibility,
see bug #390663 (and I never got a problem report
because of this dummy init script).
I didn't check the RPM's install/update magic in detail but
perhaps on your machine the old dummy init script is still
present because you did "rpm -i" instead of "rpm -U"?
On the other hand, even if the old dummy init script is still
present it should not cause a problem because all it does
is to try to stop the hpssd.
Perhaps you got an error message because it cannot stop hpssd
e.g. simply because no hpssd was running an then there is a
"FAILED" error message but as far as I see the return code
of the dummy init script is always 0 because I have an
explicite "return 0" therein.
I didn't try to reproduce it (I will not install openSUSE 11.0
only for such a test) and currently I do not understand what
exactly went wrong on your system but from my point ov view
it seems an invalid bug caused by "rpm -i" instead of "rpm -U"
and I close it accordingly.
Even if there were a bug for openSUSE 11.0 I would close it
with "wontfix" for openSUSE 11.0 because it is already "fixed"
for openSUSE 11.1 where the whole init script stuff is gone.
