First, has anyone successfully installed the HPLIP driver from HP in
CentOS4?
Second, does that driver really provide the toolbox which includes handy
stuff like ink level monitoring?
I got the source RPM (hplip-0.9.4-1.1.src.rpm) from an FC4 testing
mirror, which rebuilt fine on this machine:
.
.
.
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/rj/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ cd hplip-0.9.4
+ rm -rf /home/rj/rpmbuild/tmp/hplip-0.9.4-buildroot
+ exit 0
Executing(--clean): /bin/sh -e /home/rj/rpmbuild/tmp/rpm-tmp.54540
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/rj/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ rm -rf hplip-0.9.4
+ exit 0
[rj at mavis ~]$ su

but would not install.
[root at mavis rpmbuild]# rpm -ivh ./RPMS/i386/hplip-0.9.4-1.1.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
system-config-printer < 0.6.131.3 conflicts with
hplip-0.9.4-1.1.i386
hpijs < 1:0.9.4-1.1 conflicts with hplip-0.9.4-1.1.i386
The conflict with hpijs is a no-brainer -- remove it because hplip is a
replacement. But what about system-config-printer? I'm not too keen on
dropping back to manually setting up printers. Any advice is welcome.

At that point I felt just about like I did trying to cram CUPS into RH7.2 before finally throwing in the towel and installing RH7.3. ....that was pre-YUM. I guess I'll live without hp-toolbox for a bit longer.
