Apparently, you can't download just a ppd file.  :/   It seems like I'd 
have to download the whole hplip package (basically upgrade).

The F7 box (where the printer works) has version 1.7.4 of hplip; CentOS 
5.3 comes with 1.6.7. My printer requires v 1.6.6. I found the ppd files 
- the Cent box looks about right, compared to the F7 box (same files, etc.)

So, I'm wondering if I should just dl the latest and greatest hplip (v 
3.10, I think). (Btw, this is just for home use.) Or, perhaps 5.3 can't 
handle that, and I should find v 2?

I tried HP's utilities -
[mykolas@sr1220 HP]$ hp-check
...
Checking for application dependencies...
Checking ghostscript...
--> Version 8.15.2
Checking gcc...
error: Not found!

** Is that bad?

[mykolas@sr1220 HP]$ hp-check -g |more
...
Checking existing CUPS queues...

Any clues?
