It may be possible to lift a newer RPM (probably a SRC RPM) from Fedora
Core and then re-building the SRC RPM (man rpmbuild). It is also
possible the rpmforge has the newer version of hplip built.
Note: sometimes all that is different for different models of HP MFPs
is the model number and/or some configuration settings (typically DPI
settings). You might be able to get away with hacking a new config
file / ppd file and use an existing driver -- all HP PCL printers are
much the same -- newer ones just have more bits...
