Well...Greetings

A client bought for me a HP Color LaserJet
1525nw printer.

Installed on the local network as
192.168.1.117

A Google search brings back a number of
conflicting options. Before I ball things
up to much, I thought it best to check in
for additional advice.

The CUPS installer is complaining that it
cannot locate the foo2oak-wrapper...and
that it should be installed before using
the printer.

Yum is like me, clueless.

I've not done this with a printer on CentOS, but have on
FreeBSD. Do you really need CUPs for a printer that is
hung off the network? (eg. not plugged directly in to the PC)??

It might just not be in the std. distro. A couple-three years ago, I
bought a 1020 for myself, and had to find the driver and build it. Since
then, I've found them. You might either ask HP what driver to use, or see
if CUPS recommends anything.

Hmmm, I just brought up CUPS, and started walking through installing such
a printer. I see there's a 1500 driver. Should I assume you did all this,
and it can't find the .ppd? If that's the case, I'd question whether CUPS
was properly installed.
