I sent the following message back in June, but I must have missed the reply:

I'm attempting to install and configure HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and
Printing) software on my CentOS 5.3 x86_64 system without success. I've
got a HP Officejet Pro 8500 multi-function printer connected via ethernet.
I'm getting a message saying that it cannot locate the libcups module in
the /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib directories. However, I can locate then
correct modules using the find command. 

If I remember correctly, (but I may not) some of the older versions of hplip rpms didn't work that well. I would use the rpmforge version, which I believe is a later version. If you still have no luck, then I would try installing it from source. I have a page on doing that at http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/hplip.html
