I don't use the pclos package for FF or TB. I download from Mozilla directly and use those. Then go to preferences and manually check the default settings for both. I use a lot of HP printers. Great printers but they have their eccentricities. Try leaving the printers on during install. Or starting the HP tools getting to the printer detection dialog, then turn the printer on, off and on again. Make sure the USB is a good one. You can also use system-config-printer, which, IMO, is the best printer setup tool. The only time is doesn't always seem to work is when it's a HP network printer. I hope the above offers you something. However, wait for input from the rest of the collective. Be patient.
