I had a problem with my deskjet 5150 and the issue was resolved (though it took some back-and-forth emails). I was actually doing the same thing, making PDF's and printing from Acrobat. In my case, the fix was to set the paper size in InDesign to "Defined by Driver" and set the paper size in the print driver dialog box instead. As far as I know for laser printers, there really isn't an HP printer driver, you just use the generic postscript drivers built in to OS X and use Print Setup to select a PPD (Printer Description). If your printer isn't listed it should be on the HP site. At work, our Laserjet 5000 works exactly this way - same with all our copiers and other laser printers, no driver was ever downloaded and installed, I just had to make sure I had the correct PPD file.
