I dunno anything about those programs you mention, but (in case you
haven't yet) you may find it helpful to use yum to install all the
foomatic packages you can find. and maybe look at the names of available
cups packges to see if any of them look interesting. and try a 
"yum list available | grep -y hplip" and similar to see if there's
anything else interesting to try.
