I can't get my HP DeskJet 712C to print via cups. I believe the reason is that according to http://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-May/msg00002.html the pnm2ppa filter got dropped between RHEL 4 and RHEL 5, or between Fedora 6 and RHEL 5, depending on how you look at it.
Foomatic still generates the pnm2ppa.xml file, but there is no pnm2ppa binary filter installed, so any print attempt ends with an error message.
I don't find that any repo I have installed has picked this up for x86_64 architecture. Do I need to add a repo? Has this not been an issue for enough people that someone has made it available from a repo?
Right now this has been a show-stopper on upgrading from Centos 4 to 5, as it is hard to use the workstation without a printer. Any help appreciated.
