RHEL/CentOS have very old packages for HP printer/scanner support, although there will be a vastly updated version available in 5.6. I just got a new All-in-One e709a to work across the network with the packages from rpmforge.
You can use rpmforge through yum, or download the packages directly at http://packages.sw.be/hplip/
Once installed, run (as root) hp-setup
I have had rpmforge installed for some time. 'yum list hplip' gives me an old 1.x version that is installed.
that old version is in centos. Rpmforge now has several repos, packages that upgrade base centos rpms are now in the rpmforge-extras repo. This includes hplip which is at 3.10.6 in rpmforge-extras. See http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/users/2010-November/003411.html
