I think you misunderstood me. I reported this issue here with proposed patch (which I created it, attached here and it is same as yours, just diff was called above whole hplip-3.17.11 directory instead of yours, which is called only on firmware.py script) with intention that hplip upstream will include the fix in the project's next release.
I have patched and released fix in Fedora. Thank you for your instructions and your time!
