Michal Svec, see comment #2 and comment #3:
Please install the newest HPLIP from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/
The printer should be supported (see bug #342704)
but only when you set it up as root via hp-setup.
hp-setup should autodetect that it is a ZJStream printer,
and then it should take care of everything which is needed.
E.g. first display the EULA, then download the right proprietray stuff
(in particular the proprietary driver library for ZJStream printers
and the proprietary firmware file for your model) from the right server,
install the proprietary stuff at the right place with the right
permissions, set up the printer accordingly, whatever else...
The driver in HPLIP should do the firmware upload automatically
whenever it is needed.
Please test it by disconnecting the printer from USB and power supply,
wait one minute to make sure its firmware is lost, then reconnect it
and try a printout.
Regarding "get it working (ideally via yast)?", see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=342704#c3
------------------------------------------------------------------
There are even no PPDs for their ZJStream printers included in
the HPLIP sources so that generic setup tools would not set up
queues which cannot work for those printers.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't like to have such special stuff wich hp-setup does
re-implemented in YaST which causes sooner or later license issues
when something regarding the license changes upstream.
I would prefer to launch hp-setup from YaST, see bug #310476 and
http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2007-09/msg00035.html
