I have had to do the same thing.  I have also noticed if I don't run the
config tool that it will max out one CPU core until I kill hplip or log
out and sometimes have to kill hplip then.

Recently, I have noticed I don't have to do that and everything works as
expected.  Sort of surprised really.  I have got so used to redoing
everything after a update.
