When I installed f14 the following packages were included in the installation:
Installing hplip-common-3.10.6-3.fc14.i686
Installing hplip-libs-3.10.6-3.fc14.i686
Installing hpijs-3.10.6-3.fc14.i686
Installing hplip-3.10.6-3.fc14.i686
Installing libsane-hpaio-3.10.6-3.fc14.i686
I did not have to install anything to get the printer working. It was
an HP, but a different model, and has a network interface, so there
are some differences, but there was nothing additional that had to be
installed.

Not sure this was a good idea.

My setup required some additional steps to add some iptables rules,
but the basic thing I did was use:
System/Administration/Printing
click on Add
Then followed the gui through selecting the printer model, etc. It
all went very smoothly and worked the first time.
If you have already tried this and it did not work, it might be worth
using yum to re-install the hp packages - the hp binary may have hosed
something.
If it still isn't working, post what gets written to /var/log/messages
when you plug the printer in.

If I remember correctly, the 5P is a parallel printer. You may have
to use CUPS to install a parallel printer, especially if the
parallel port module and the parallel printer module are not being
loaded. I have not checked lately to see if they are loaded by default.

I've been reading and googling and everything else.. it seemsa problem with the cable I'm using. I'll try to use a Parallel Portcable (Male-Female) instead a Paralallel to USB one, I'll keep you
posted, if anyone has other advice it might be helpful
Thanks.
