Well - has been quite a bit longer, but if you're still waiting, can report that I just got a new HP OfficeJet 5610 today and it worked out- of-the-box with the 5500 driver, but when I went searching for scanner support and utilities and found the same conflicts you encountered. Fortunately, Fedora has advanced since October '05 and the following packages from the FC4 repo rebuild from *.src.rpm and work on CentOS4:
system-config-printer-0.6.131.3-1 libsane-hpaio-0.9.7-4.2 hplip-0.9.7-4.2 hpijs-0.9.7-4.2
Sources: system-config-printer-0.6.131.3-1.src.rpm hplip-0.9.7-4.2.src.rpm
The pre-requisites mentioned for Fedora on http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/install.php seem to work fine. No need to even remove hpijs. Scanner and tools seem fully functional.

Thanks again! I waited until after my weekly backup, built & installed the rpms, reconfigured my printer and it works like a champ. Has anyone else noticed that printer setup is less challenging than it was with RH6.0?
