"until this evening"...so that's interesting.

I'm also on CentOS 6.8 but 32-bit using the same hplip version. Normally 
I do printer setup with hp-setup, then use the web interface to cups to 
add it in to that environment.

Also, add hp-systray to your startup apps if you haven't already.

Does portrait work with ANY other type of document -- pdf, for example?
