root at localhost ~]# yum install hplip
Package hplip-2.8.2-2.fc9.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

[root at localhost ~]# hp-setup

error: PyQt not installed. GUI not available. Exiting.
warning: PyQt init failed. Reverting to interactive mode.

Installed: PyQt.i386 0:3.17.4-4.fc9
Complete!

root at localhost ~]# hp-setup

error: hplip-gui not installed.  GUI not available. Exiting.
warning: PyQt init failed. Reverting to interactive mode.

[root at localhost ~]# yum install PyQt
root at localhost ~]# hp-setup
(gui this time) worked ok.
Printed a pretty HP test page.
Still not detected by xsane.

will try a reboot.
No - still broken.

[root at localhost ~]# yum install libsane-hpaio
Installed: libsane-hpaio.i386 0:2.8.2-2.fc9
Complete!

and ... FIXED !!
 
thanks
