Kali is indeed based on Debian testing. You can check the status of hplip in Debian on this page: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hplip

There are 2 bugs that prevent this package from re-entering Debian testing: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1075069 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1085142. As long as these issues are not resolved in Debian, the package won't enter Debian testing, hence won't be in Kali.
