Hi Dag,
I have another CentOS 5.5 office machine which will need a current
version of hplip sometime soon at which time I will try your package out
and I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks for your prompt reply!
It would be nice if you post the results, especially if you do scanning
with an all-in-one--as you probably noted, the article to which you
linked (which I wrote) :), mentioned that as of July, the hplip rpm
didn't work with my particular scanner--it provided a print driver, but
the machine wouldn't scan.
Just for reference, I own an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 all-in-one as well
and both printing and scanning work fine on Fedora 13 with the
following packages from the official fedora repositories:
rpm -q hplip-gui.x86_64 hplip xsane.x86_64 xsane-gimp.x86_64 libsane-hpaio
hplip-gui-3.10.5-1.fc13.x86_64
hplip-3.10.5-1.fc13.x86_64
xsane-0.997-10.fc13.x86_64
xsane-gimp-0.997-10.fc13.x86_64
libsane-hpaio-3.10.5-1.fc13.x86_64
Only needed to open :incoming UDP: 137, 138, 161, 427 and outgoing
TCP: 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500 on the firewall and then hp-setup
correctly configured the printer and xsane was able to detect the
scanner automatically.
I did have to specify the printer's IP address for hp-setup to find it.
Did you have any problems with the RPMforge supplied 3.10.6 packages from:
http://packages.sw.be/hplip/
If you didn't try, that's no problem. I just wondered...
