Yesterday, I went to install a new HP printer and I discovered that the
CentOS/rhel 5.5 version of hplip is very old and did not support my new
printer. I found an article which recommended that I install the rpmforge
testing repo version of hplip from here:
http://packages.sw.be/hplip/
So, I thought that I would give it a go and test it out, however, the two
download links that I tried on the above page did not work:
hplip-3.10.6-0.1.el5.test.i386.rpm
hplip-3.10.5-0.1.el5.test.i386.rpm
In any event, I went ahead and downloaded the hplip source tarball which I
compiled and installed on my machine such that I could get my printer working
so my printer config problem is solved. However, I thought that I should send
this post out to let Dag know that these links do not work. Also, for
future reference, is there another place to get hplip rpm's at rpmforge?
I hope that this is the correct place to post this information. The article
that referenced the rpmforge repos was:
http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/hplip.html
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for the feedback. The download links did not work because the
HTTP redirects changed after we renamed the testing repository. So thanks
for letting us know.
I have fixed it now, feel free to try out the packages and send us any
feedback !
