Is anyone successfully using hplip under CentOS? When I try to print on my HP Officejet J4580 I always get the error
Printer Filter "foomatic-rip-hplip" for printer "oj" not available: No such file or directory
If you're interested, RPMforge has an updated hplip in testing that supports many more (and newer) devices. It does have an incompatibility with dbus, but works fine for my HP PhotoSmart printer that wouldn't work otherwise.
You can find those packages here:
http://packages.sw.be/hplip/
I should have thanked you before, but I only just got around to downloading hpijs-3.10.6-0.1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm, hplip-3.10.6-0.1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm, libsane-hpaio-3.10.6-0.1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm from http://packages.sw.be/hplip/, and installing them on my CentOS machine with "sudo yum localing install hplip ...", and as far as I can see this works fine.
The printer has a USB connection, and with the printer on CUPS found it and I installed it with the one of the three printers I was offered having HPLIP in the title.
As far as I can see it works fine. Thanks again.
