Finally got it working. After several attempts of purging and 
reinstalling different versions I kept getting the unable to connect 
errors. I did notice that hpssd would fail on shutting done when doing 
hplip restarts or shutting down the system. I started changing settings 
in my network to see if that was affecting it, but it wasn't.

Then I found someone having problems with hpssd on 1.7.2 & FC6. I 
followed his attempts of just executing hpssd.py which didn't seem to 
indicate any problems although I thought that if it were already running 
it should give some indication of that.Doing an strace of the command 
pointed me to several missing files in /usr/share/hplip/prnt. Mostly 
files that seem to be related to cups in some way. I know that I had 
installed cups as per the manual installation instructions. Also I had 
configured the printer in cups admin although it could never print. 
Through Smart Pkg Mgr I found one cups file missing, all others 
indicated as having been installed, "cups-lpd" was missing. I installed 
that, allowed the system to update hplip from 1.6.10 to 1.6.12 and 
succesfully ran hp-setup. Also my scanner is now detected and works.

I'm now a happy camper.
