The HPLIP Toolbox icon is DISABLED by default on dapper, edgy and feisty:

$ cat /usr/share/applications/hp-toolbox.desktop | grep NoDisplay
NoDisplay=true

Check if the file ~/.local/share/applications/hp-toolbox.desktop exist, in that case this overrides the desktop file in /usr/share/applications because YOU have activated the hp-toolbox menu item in alacarta.

On a clean installation of dapper, edgy or feisty the file ~/.local/share/applications/hp-toolbox.desktop is not present so HP Toolbox is hidden by default.
