CentOS - Mar 2011 - 2 attempts to install newest hplip 3.11.1

Hi Folks,

the reason: new printer HP LaserJet Pro M1132 MFP
This printer needs a non-free plugin.

On my 64-bit machine with CentOS 5.5 the installation via

hplip-3.11.1.run  and hplip-3.11.1.plugin.run

works perfectly (except scanning - but that's not the problem at the
moment).

On my second machine - CentOS 5 32-bit I have many problems and printing 
doesn't works.

1. Installation using hplip-3.11.1_rhel-5.0.i386.rpm  runs.

But calling

	hp-setup or hp-check

ends in 

	warning: CUPSEXT could not be loaded. Please check HPLIP installation

Calling

	./hplip-3.11.1-plugin.run

to install the non-free plugin

ends with the same message.

locate  cupsext brings

	/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cupsext.so

2. Installation via  hplip-3.11.1.run

ends in

	error: Configuration failed with error:  libcups not found

locate  libcups

	/usr/lib/libcups.so
	/usr/lib/libcups.so.2
	/usr/lib/libcupsimage.so
	/usr/libcupsimage.so.2

I've "goggled" a little bit  and read that it could be a
python-issue

	python -v

	Python 2.4.2 (#1, Nov 11 2010 13:34:43)
	[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on Linux2

same as on the 64-Bit machine.

What goes wrong?

pastebin.ca and link it to mailinglist..
