PLEASE advise if you ever found a solution to this problem. I have exactly the same issue. I know that it is my HP printer. The numbers that follow "hp" in the finder side bar, are indeed the printers MAC address.

You may have to delete and then set the printer back up.https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18606?locale=en_US
