I have an HP7310 network attached. Looks like it uses port 9100
I want to print to it. And from my Asterisk at home server.
I see that I do not have the "Printing Support" group installed. I guess this would be the first set.
Then I see http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/hplip_readme.html
Is this driver included in the Centos repos?
There are a number of caveats.
Of course, for me, the biggest is need to do a make. I bet the AAH build doesn't have what that will take!

then
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf
should get the dependencies and install anything you would need to 'make' stuff
I don't know about hplip but you could 'yum install hpijs' which might have what you need.

good, but I don't like it :)

To quote from the above URL:
HPLIP uses http://hpinkjet.sf.net/hpijs_readme.htmlHPIJS for generating printer-ready-data for non-postscript print jobs. HPIJS has been available since 2001 as a uni-di solution. HPIJS has been modified to support HPLIP, but HPIJS is still backward compatible with existing spoolers.
And I just tried yum install hplip and came up empty.
Given what the the URL tells about this utility, I would think it should be part of the Centos base!

I rebuilt http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/hpli... from Fedora Core 4. Works-for-me from a local yum repo for an HP OfficeJet. Unless the upstream provider adds it, it won't be in the base anytime soon, but could be a CentOSplus candidate.

Acting on your tip, I rebuilt the FC4 RPM for CentOS 4 also. It was a completely painless rebuild but I discovered that a nasty little "feature" of the hp-toolbox is that, if left running it will hog memory, causing everything in sight to swap out to disk. Not a pretty sight, first thing in the morning! Since I really wanted the features, I have root call a homemade seek-and-destroy script at the top of every hour to kill any toolbox I left open. In the process of scratching my head, I wondered if maybe this unruly behavior is the reason it's not included in CentOS...

Hadn't left the toolbox running, so missed that bug. Just built the version from rawhide but can't test right now. Might give that a shot.

---- you can always check the repositories to see what's around as a single 'yum install hplip' is simply a single shot in the dark...
man yum # i.e. yum search...
you can always use a web browser to check a mirror and see what's in os/CentOS/RPMS or centosplus or dag and even dev.centos.org
you probably should at least 'try' the hpijs as it may do what you want
you can try the suggestion by Phil which seems reasonable though obviously out of band
and whether you like building from source or not...it's always an option and either creating your own spec file, sometimes tarballs have spec files included or using checkinstall, you can build/install rpms to sort of keep your hands from getting dirty by building directly (though it's awful easy to ./configure && make && make install on most stuff).
