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.
I'm using hplip-1.6.7-4.1.el5.4.x86_64 .

According to HP website your printer is not supported by hplip drivers arriving with EL5.
Try installing the one from the website provided below: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html

Thanks, I had noticed that. But CUPS web install and system-config-printer both allowed me to install the printer, after specifying hplip. It was only when I tried to use it that I got the error.

OK, I'll try that. Thanks.

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.

Hi Dag,
I'm going to add mention of that--and also mention the rpmforge rpm--it won't be till tonight (EDT, GMT -0500). I'll just put that Dag Wieers of rpmforge fame has commented that.... <blah blah>. (I'll also preface the article with a mention of the rpmforge rpm.)
Thanks.

I've actually already updated the page to make mention of the rpmforge package and also add your comments about dbus. I actually only made use of hp-setup -i and then tested the scanner with scanimage, so I didn't run into the error. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi Dag, I just tested your rpm. After uninstalling the tarball (the older version though) and installing your rpm, scanimage -L didn't find the scanner. I then installed the latest version of hplip from tarball to make sure it wasn't an hplip regression, and it discovered the scanner without issue.
The difference I see besides dbus is that the hplip instructions disable hpijs, but I really don't know enough about it to know if that would make the difference. If you see this today (Saturday), I probably have time to run any test you would like (but tomorrow, my wife gets back from Europe, so I won't).
If you feel it's better, I can take this to the rpmforge user list, but figured I should post the information here since the thread started here.

If you're interested, RPMforge has an updated hplip in testing that supports many more (and newer) devices. It does have an incompatibility with dbus, but works fine for my HP PhotoSmart printer that wouldn't work otherwise.
You can find those packages here:

Thanks very much. I'll try that.

I should have thanked you before, but I only just got around to downloading hpijs-3.10.6-0.1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm, hplip-3.10.6-0.1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm, libsane-hpaio-3.10.6-0.1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm from http://packages.sw.be/hplip/, and installing them on my CentOS machine with "sudo yum localing install hplip ...", and as far as I can see this works fine.
The printer has a USB connection, and with the printer on CUPS found it and I installed it with the one of the three printers I was offered having HPLIP in the title.
As far as I can see it works fine. Thanks again.
