Are you using FC6? There seem to be a few problems with HPLIP in that release 
(they probably also affect post-FC6 Rawhide if that's what you're using):
* check your /etc/sane.d/dll.conf, there should be a line saying "hpaio" at the 
end, if it is missing, add it.
* check your /etc/hosts: HPLIP seems to expect the localhost IP to be IPv4 
(127.0.0.1), whereas the default is to use the ::1 notation.
* check your /etc/hp/hplip.conf: apparently the "(IANA IP port)" parts can 
cause problems, try removing them so just the number remains (there's an update 
in FC6 updates-testing now).

I'll Bugzilla the other problems too.
