Is anyone successfully using hplip under CentOS? When I try to print on my HP Officejet J4580 I always get the error ---------------------------------- Printer Filter "foomatic-rip-hplip" for printer "oj" not available: No such file or directory ---------------------------------- What I find puzzling is that I have googled for this, and it appears there has been the same problem with hplip for over a year. I'm using hplip-1.6.7-4.1.el5.4.x86_64 .

I think rpmforge has newer, but regardless, I wound up installing from source. The hplip page for CentOS is a bit off (dated, I imagine), I have my own page on it here. (I should add that it works quite well for me, version 3.9.8 or so. Haven't checked for updates since then, as this does all I need. http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/hplip.html -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: In order...to be worthy...you must perform the ritual...in a tutu.

It does have an incompatibility with dbus, but works fine for my HP PhotoSmart printer that wouldn't work otherwise.
