The driver HP supplies for OS X for the LaserJet 6/6mp is for the PostScript version of this printer series.  I believe the 6p seldom, if ever, has PostScript capabilities.
 
The latest version of the Gutenprint drivers will work with OS X 10.7 and should work with your printer.  You can download the latest version from <http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php>.
