My wife purchased an HP Deskjet F340 all-in-one printer last year. CentOS 5 includes hplip-1.6.7. I need at least hplip-2.7.10 which I have had to install via tarball. Is there any plans to update this package soon? Thanks -- Bob Taylor

I have no idea when or if they will put that in a current product. If you want to know what MIGHT be in CentOS-6 (still probably 6-8 months away) you can look in Fedora 9. The version there (in what is called Rawhide) is currently hplip-2.7.12-5.fc9.src.rpm: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/ I would imagine something close to that will be in CentOS-6. Remember that these things will likely never make it into already released versions of centos .. as enterprise versions STAY with what is released throughout their lifetime. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It is much better than installing from a tarball. Just found that hplip-2.7.12-4 for fc8 rebuilds without difficulties. I can offer the stuff I built for CentOS-5 if you like. Akemi

Eh? No PPD's in /usr/share/cups nor my printer in /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP. I will get the rpm stuff from Akemi. Thanks -- Bob Taylor

The version there (in what is called > Rawhide) is currently hplip-2.7.12-5.fc9.src.rpm:Sorry Johnny, I was not specific. What I left off was if the developers were aware of Red Hat's plans. I just presumed they had *some* inkling. This is *one* package that *should* be updated fairly continuously for new printers. Perhaps the current maintainers wouldn't mind? -- Bob Taylor
