Manually switching the printer to use the hpijs driver apparently resolves the problem.

Have you used the hpcups driver ever before (F4400 has been supported since 3.9.12) ?
Yeah, my F14 partition is using hpcups 3.10.9, and produces correct output.
Thanks, can you try also 3.11.3 ? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=234518 (F15) https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=234514 (rawhide)
3.11.3 produces the same results as 3.11.1 - gray with hpcups, black with hpijs.
Same problem on HP Photosmart 2575 and HP Photosmart C310 and the same workaround.
Jonathan, can you update hplip on your F14 partition from 3.10.9 to 3.11.3a http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=236950 a test it to make sure that this problem is in hplip-3.11.x You can always downgrade back to 3.10.9 with yum downgrade 'hplip*' hpijs libsane-hpaio Andrew, what does 'rpm -q hplip' command say ?
Jonathan, hplip-3.11.3a-1.fc14 is in testing, so you can also update with 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing hplip'
Unfortunately, I've already upgraded that partition to F15, so I can't try that. Sorry!
What about fresh hplip-3.11.5 ? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=243695
3.11.5 looks like it has it fixed. Many thanks.
