Note : Test the steps in non-production environment first.

1. The hplip, hpijs-1.6.7-4.1.el5 and libsane-hpaio-1.6.7-4.1.el5 will
throw the conflict error. If you don't have following devices you may
remove these packages.

The  hpijs is a collection of optimized drivers for HP printers. hpijs
 supports the DeskJet 350C, 600C, 600C Photo, 630C, Apollo 2000,
Apollo 2100, Apollo 2560, DeskJet 800C, DeskJet 825, DeskJet 900,
PhotoSmart, DeskJet 990C, and PhotoSmart 100 series.

The  libsane-hpaio has SANE driver for scanners in HP's multi-function
 devices (from HPOJ). If you don't have any other devices from list
please remove these packages to install hplip.

# rpm -e --nodeps hplip

# rpm -e --nodeps hpijs

# rpm -e --nodeps libsane-hpaio


2. Install the following package from RHN to satisfy dependencies for
hiplip-3.10.6_rhel-5.0 :

# yum install net-snmp-libs

# yum install sane-backends-libs

3.  Install the latest hplip package.

# rpm -ivh hplip-3.10.6_rhel-5.0.x86_64.rpm
