First, keep in mind that I'm currently addressing your selinux issue.

But, just to be sure, what is the output of the following commands.

rpm -qa | grep ^hp
lpstat -a
grep /var/lib/hp /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts

Then, would you mind to try this sequence?

[root@localhost ~]# cd /var/lib
[root@localhost lib]# rmdir hp
[root@localhost lib]# mkdir hp
[root@localhost lib]# ls -dZ hp
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 hp
[root@localhost lib]# restorecon -RF hp
[root@localhost lib]# ls -dZ hp
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:cupsd_var_lib_t:s0 hp

 
 
$ rpm -qa | grep ^hp
hplip-libs-3.13.2-1.fc18.x86_64
hplip-gui-3.13.2-1.fc18.x86_64
hplip-3.13.2-1.fc18.x86_64
hplip-common-3.13.2-1.fc18.x86_64
hpijs-3.13.2-1.fc18.x86_64

$ lpstat -a

$ grep /var/lib/hp /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts
/var/lib/hp(/.*)? system_u:object_r:hplip_var_lib_t:s0

I've got hplip installed rather than - or in addition to - cups

[root@localhost lib]# ls -dZ hp
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 hp
[root@localhost lib]# restorecon -RF hp
[root@localhost lib]# ls -dZ hp
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:hplip_var_lib_t:s0 hp
