When I installed hplip for my OfficeJet J6480, the automatic configuration didn't work correctly. Further, I couldn't fix it with either system-config-printer, cups, or lpadmin. I had to manually delete the printer from the printers.conf file, the restart the cups service. That was just to get to a point of having no printers defined.
From there I was able to run system-config-printer and get my printer working correctly.
I don't know if that will work in your case, but it might worth considering.

Then, I am confuse.
Right now, rpm -q hplip and hpijs shwow that I did not install
hplip and hpijs
But I installed hplip from hplip-3.9.8.run, ie, that hplip and hpijs
are installed ?
So. I could remove the hplip-3.9.8, and install hpijs.rpm (fedora 11)
and it should work. But then if I install hplip-3.9.8, it will remove
the hpijs from fedora ?
Now, the question, is what is the difference between the hpijs-3.9.2-4.fc11 and the hpijs.3.9.8 ?
By the way, I do understand that the blank pages are due to the ppd
file because it is OK for none postscript file.
Should I conclude that I need to use the ppd file coming with
hpihs-3.9.4-4 ? But this package does not seems to have a ppd
file for an HP-laserjet_P1005 ?
So, it looks like that I am stick with the HP distribution !!
Am I wrong ?

I can try to remove hplip.
But, when I print, do I really use hplip ?
Yes, you use the hp CUPS backend included in the hplip package
and the driver from the hpijs pacakge.
Do I only need a ppd file ?
Only PostScript printers work with only a ppd file.
