No, 631 is for access to the web server built into CUPS.
HPLIP is a printer driver toolkit provided by HP that installs
and manages the "official" HP drivers for (nearly) all their
printers, on Linux systems.
try "yum install hplip".
I've got four hplip packages, I don't recall if the above command
grabs them all or not, so here's what I've got installed:
hpijs.x86_64 1:3.13.7-6.el7 @anaconda
hplip.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @base
hplip-common.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @anaconda
hplip-gui.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @base
hplip-libs.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @anaconda
note there's also a hpijs package. don't know if you need it or not,
but you might!
good luck!
