automatically no - you may have to add the corresponding lines to the
OS definition, something such as
            (service cups-service-type
                     (cups-configuration
                       (web-interface? #t)
                       (extensions (list cups-filters hplip-minimal))))
and then reconfigure, then use the CUPS web interface to install the
printer.

Do you mean that your friend has a printer that is currently not
supported by hplip-minimal, but will be supported soon? (Notice that
this is less a question of Guix, but rather of the availability of free
drivers.)

Andreas
