Anne et al., I have been out for a while. Has any resolution to this occurred. I am still interested in it working correctly even though I seem to have a "kludge" sort of working, i.e. I can scan & print, no fax but I can live with that. roger wells

I have hplip running on Mandriva 2009, Fedora 9 and Fedora 10. I get the full range of services there. I don't know why we have this strange situation on CentOS. The HP website says it is tested against CentOS 5, yet the problems seem to be down to not being able to find packages that are definitely installed, and installed by totally standard yum :-(
The usual problem when a build procedure complains that a package is missing when you actually have it installed is that you need the matching "-devel" package. The base package just provides the execution libraries. You need the development package in order to build new programs that use those libraries.
Yes, I understand that. I did forget, at the beginning, but that problem was resolved a week or more ago. All the packages that needed -devel packages got them installed. If I had had more time to spend on it, it might have been possible to track down why it failed to find the package. The actuall error was
Checking for dependency: DBus - Message bus system... error: NOT FOUND! This is a REQUIRED dependency. Please make sure that this dependency is installed before installing or running HPLIP.
I might have another play with this setup when things are less busy.
