I guess I should have been a little clear about this driver, I have this 
driver installed on Three other F17 boxes
and the only problem I had there was with F17 and Selinux ,you could set 
a label for Selinux and  the printer worked for about one week and then 
Selinux would pop up with the same error again,  F17 is surely having 
problems with Selinux.  I had to disable Selinux on these three boxes.

The box I'm having problems with is a HP 3gb processor , it work fine 
with Fedora 15, but I can't get it to work on f17, even with Selinux 
disabled. even if I did two fresh installs of Fedora.
