I've never tried it with hplip, but many rpms can be updated by simply downloading and installing the srpm for the version that you're trying to update from, putting the newer source file into rpmbuild/SOURCES, updating the spec file in rpmbuild/SPECS, and then typing: rpmbuild -ba myfile.spec

The source rpm will have a spec file included.
