As you may have already seen, we don't have an entry for this UPS in
data/drivers.list yet.

However, HP often repackages other vendors' equipment. Does the
documentation mention what software is used to monitor the UPS on
Windows? Often this is a clue as to what is inside.

You can rise the debug level by adding D. So try -DDD .
I have not worked with the usbups_hid driver but it should give
some more info.
