Scott,
Please disable SELinux and try restarting hplip again.
System -> Admin -> Security -> SELinux
To remove hplip the source is installed in /usr/share/hplip (unless you did
a custom install). If when you run any hplip tools it says you are running
hplip 1.6.10 but you installed 1.7.3 from source then try using yum to
remove the dpkg installed version, uninstall the source;
in the source dir run make uninstall and then run rm -rf /usr/share/hplip
and re-install from the source and you should be working okay after.
Hope this helps!

Recently I reinstalled FC6 from scratch, after rearranging my HDDs. I
noticed that the current hplip version that Fedora has is 1.6.12. When I
went to run hp-setup, it would dump out with "error:unable to connect to
hpiod" and the same for hplip. It suggested that I restart hplip, which
I did several times with no change. Googling only turned up the same
feed back and most people were having problems with USB direct connects,
mine is networked. I then downloaded hplip-1.7.3 and tried installing
that getting the same thing.
After several hours I installed hplip-1.6.10, which is what I had prior
to all this and it worked fine. The hp-toolkit GUI worked fine, for
printing, FAXing, and scanning. I liked it because it gave me warnings
of low ink. I even tried going through CUPs localhost:631 way to setup
the printer. It would allow me to create the printer, but when I went to
do a test print nothing would happen. I deleted it from there and
recreated it through the system->admin->printing app. I am able to print
but xsane does not "see" it. I would like to get working the way I had
it before, through the HP Device Manager, as I think that's why some of
the functions aren't working
Also even though it says that HPLIP-1.6.10 is the version that I've got
running, with all of the switching versions, how do I know that bit and
pieces of other versions aren't lingering around possibly causing
problems. Short of reinstall of FC6 again, which I'm not sure how that
would take since I'm now using LVM and I don't want to lose that as I've
got about 2 weeks of .flac files (close to 100GB).
TIA
