I did forget, at the beginning, but that problem was resolved a week or more ago. All the packages that needed -devel packages got them installed. If I had had more time to spend on it, it might have been possible to track down why it failed to find the package. The actuall error was Checking for dependency: DBus - Message bus system... error: NOT FOUND! This is a REQUIRED dependency. Please make sure that this dependency is installed before installing or running HPLIP. I might have another play with this setup when things are less busy.
