I am attempting to get an HP Color LaserJet cp2025dn installed on some SL5

Firstly, if anyone has any experience getting these up and running I would
be grateful for some hints or help :)

Anyway, according to here:

I need to have HPLIP 2.8.10 or greater installed - which seems to pan out as
I have tried to get a PPD from a newer ubuntu system to work with SL5 and it
has issues with a foomatic script - which implies to me that a PPD alone
won't work.

As far as I can see, HPLIP in the repos is version 1.6.7 - is there a repo
out there that has a newer version?

Scott Robbins has an page [1] titled "Installing HPLIP 3.10.6 on
CentOS 5.3" that might be worth a read.

This might be of help:

It looks like it is supported by the "older" HPIJS. You probably won't get all of the advanced features it may have, but it will print. The package is called "hpijs" in SL5.

If that fails, try some of the generic PCL drivers or even Postscript.

Cheers,
Mark
