I have 30 MacBooks and they're all missing the "HP IP Printer" option in Print Center when I hit the More Printers button.

I thought 10.4 had the HP IP Printer option, or is that Leopard only?

It lists:

AppleTalk
Bluetooth
Windows Printing
Canon IJ Network
EPSON AppleTalk
EPSON FireWire
EPSON TCP/IP
Lexmakr Inkjet Networking

From what I remember there is no need to select "More Printers..."

Just select IP, then in the Protocol drop-down select HP JetDirect - Socket

Not with the 3600 series of LaserJets (and all recent models they've released.) HP packages the drivers in some weird way that they don't show up in the model list. You have to add the printer via Rendezvous/Bonjour or through the manual HP TCP/IP option.

I've already began a reinstall. Sigh. The menu is back on a clean install, so I don't know what happened that disabled it.
