Can't print on HP all-in-one.
Running Fedora 16 with linux version 3.1.5-6, hplip-3.11.10, and an HP Officejet 5510 All-in-one. Running hp-check yields the following:

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

Note under INSTALLED CUPS PRINTER QUEUES the line
Printer status: printer officejet-
But the hp file is in the backend directory, and I have reset the permissions to be owner (instead of root). Also note that scanning works properly on the HP and I can print properly on the Canon printer not connected to HPLIP.
How can I get HPLIP to recognize the cups backend file?
