AFAIK system-config-printer is a development of RedHat and has no relation with CUPS. The only problem here is that RedHat "forgot" to implement 'system-config-scanner' :-) > I have a network (wifi) scanner setup properly.

So I guess you should send your requests to the HPLIP developers as only they may be able to help you with the HP specific things.
