Two things: if you don't have hplip installed, install it and try again.
Second, you don't mention any SELinux alerts, which means that it
isn't a factor. Automatically disabling SELinux whenever things don't
go right is worse than waving a dead chicken over the issue; it's cargo
cult administration. Yes, there was a time when it would cause problems
without notice, but that was years ago and the reasons for it have been
corrected. I do hope that you've turned it back on!
