Yes, I understand that.  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.
