My wife purchased an HP Deskjet F340 all-in-one printer last year. CentOS 5 includes hplip-1.6.7. I need at least hplip-2.7.10 which I have had to install via tarball. Is there any plans to update this package soon?

Uncle Bob,

If you'd really like to use the hplip package rather than going for alternative ways, I suggest you rebuild it from the Fedora srpm. It is much better than installing from a tarball. Just found that hplip-2.7.12-4 for fc8 rebuilds without difficulties. I can offer the stuff I built for CentOS-5 if you like.
