OK, I see that "yum downgrade hplip cups" was not being fair.  So, I tried this:
[root at localhost ~]# yum downgrade cups cups-devel cups-libs hplip
hplip-common hplip-gui hplip-libs hpijs libsane-hpaio

Is this ok [y/N]:

I chose "y" and everything seemed to go as desired.  I have learned
something VERY important so far:
When running "yum downgrade" it seems that you need to specify every
RPM that you want to downgrade.
I'll get back to you soon with how this all works out.
