I sent the following message back in June, but I must have missed the reply:
I'm attempting to install and configure HPLIP (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) software on my CentOS 5.3 x86_64 system without success. I've got a HP Officejet Pro 8500 multi-function printer connected via ethernet. I'm getting a message saying that it cannot locate the libcups module in the /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib directories. However, I can locate then correct modules using the find command. I can print to this printer using multiple versions of Fedora and multiple versions of Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions why it is not working?
Has anyone seen an issue like this? I'm continuing to run CentOS 5.3 because VMware Server 2.02 works well there. And I haven't found a tutorial or 'How To' showing how to move to kernel based virtualization (KVM) on the later versions of CentOS.
TIA Gene

If I remember correctly, (but I may not) some of the older versions of hplip rpms didn't work that well. I would use the rpmforge version, which I believe is a later version. If you still have no luck, then I would try installing it from source. I have a page on doing that at http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/hplip.html

Tutorial, or better yet an explanation how to use: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_To_Migrate_From_Vmware_To_KVM
read the bottom part of the page:
Starting at v0.12, Qemu-kvm has native support to VMware's disk images v6 (seems to be compatible with v7, used by VMware Server). So VMware images can could be run with Qemu-kvm without any modification (make backups and do it at your own risks though !).
Look at your VMX configuration file:
scsi0:0.fileName = "zimbra-000001.vmdk" uuid.bios = "56 4d 3f 3d 32 80 5b f2-94 31 21 c9 b2 c3 93 b9" ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:c3:93:b9"
And then build the command-line:
kvm -drive file=zimbra-000001.vmdk,boot=on \ -net nic,macaddr=00:0c:29:c3:93:b9 -net tap \ -uuid 564d3f3d-3280-5bf2-9431-21c9b2c393b9
The UUID is optional, but might be useful for applications using it for validation (i.e. Windows), and the MAC address as well.
Second way could be to convert the disk image:
kvm-img convert -O qcow2 zimbra-000001.vmdk zimbra.qcow2
