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
What I find puzzling is that I have googled for this, and it appears there has been the same problem with hplip for over a year.
Wow, that's pretty old. I think rpmforge has newer, but regardless, I wound up installing from source. The hplip page for CentOS is a bit off (dated, I imagine), I have my own page on it here. (I should add that it works quite well for me, version 3.9.8 or so. Haven't checked for updates since then, as this does all I need.
Hi Scott,
Thanks fot hat document. I modified my hplip package based on that document and am building a 3.10.6 update package as we speak.
I noticed that --enable-dbus-build is set, but I think it might be better to disable it. Now people get the following error due to dbus incompatiblities:
error: Unable to load dbus - Automatic status updates in HPLIP Device Manager will be disabled.
I've looked into the problem, but only a dbus update could fix the issue at hand :-/ Everything else works for me without a problem though.
