RHEL/CentOS have very old packages for HP printer/scanner support, 
although there will be a vastly updated version available in 5.6.  I just 
got a new All-in-One e709a to work across the network with the packages 
from rpmforge.

You can use rpmforge through yum, or download the packages directly at 
<http://packages.sw.be/hplip/>

Once installed, run (as root) hp-setup
