yes, the "yum list" output shows both installed and available (from the repos you have configured). if not installed it shows the repo - e.g., "base", "rpmforge". so, if you're is showing installed there's something else going on. is it complaining about dbus-python in general, or is it giving a version/release-specific error?

That is correct. The printer in question is a networked one, and I would expect to have to set it in hp-setup. It works from other boxes with more recent distros.
there's also:
rpm -qa dbus-python*
to check that something is installed.
That simply returns
dbus-python-0.70-7.el5
