The patch is needed as it will change the target directories. Even
though the legacy paths exist you still want to install each
application to its own prefix and this is what the above patch does.

You don't need to play with unmanaged_files, but with patches instead.
All of the above files are proper files of the hplip program so they
should be placed in the hplip tree under /Programs. The settings files
are taken care of by the patch you just removed, while the other needs
either a patch or, better, if there's a ./configure option to specify
the target directories for those.
