After reviewing this thread after trying other things, I looked carefully at my version of libusb, and I had not downgraded it to the correct version. Doing so and replugging my usb printer appears to have worked. I have uninstalled hplip, but maybe if there is now usb connectivity I can reinstall. Oh what a doosy!
