That is because the only PPD for this printer is an integral part of the HPLIP package.
Tghe printer itself is a so called „GDI printer“.

There on Ubuntu-Server I can see all printers connected to Rapsberries. If I add printer to Win7 Machine and install driver by myself on client-side, everything works as charm.
