Our goal is to be 100% directly compatible with the upstream EL 
software.  So, the short answer is ... I have no idea when or if they 
will put that in a current product.

If you want to know what MIGHT be in CentOS-6 (still probably 6-8 months 
away) you can look in Fedora 9.  The version there (in what is called 
Rawhide) is currently hplip-2.7.12-5.fc9.src.rpm:

I would imagine something close to that will be in CentOS-6.

Remember that these things will likely never make it into already 
released versions of centos .. as enterprise versions STAY with what is 
released throughout their lifetime.
