HPLIP is a printer driver toolkit provided by HP that installs and manages the "official" HP drivers for (nearly) all their printers, on Linux systems. try "yum install hplip". I've got four hplip packages, I don't recall if the above command grabs them all or not, so here's what I've got installed: hpijs.x86_64 1:3.13.7-6.el7 @anaconda hplip.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @base hplip-common.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @anaconda hplip-gui.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @base hplip-libs.x86_64 3.13.7-6.el7 @anaconda note there's also a hpijs package. don't know if you need it or not, but you might! good luck! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!
