Update to the update:

I had earlier gone to the CUPS localhost:631 admin page and tried 
resetting the printer form there. It didn't really do anything but 
somehow a new printer was created called E-. Since then SELinux started 
complaining about FileLabel errors so I ran the recommended command of 
"restore -R '/'" and then rebooted. I went back into the CUPs WebPage 
Admin and was then able to delete printer "E-" and reset my printer and 
all is working. And I was already using the HP PPD file fooey to 
foomatic for me.
