Tried to install hplip-3.13.4 on Centos 5.9 x86_64 to connect an HP LaserJet 400 M401n. Get the error about libhp3mud.so.0 not being found
I bought an HP LaserJet 400 M401n and tried to connect it to a Centos 5.9 x86_64. I followed all instructions on how to manually install, but hplip apparently is still not installed, it installed an hplipfull.
# rpm -q hplip
package hplip is not installed
[root@new-screamer ~]# rpm -q hplipfull
hplipfull-3.13.4-0
[root@new-screamer ~]# hp-setup

If I try to install hplip3-libs it gives me a conflict:
[root@new-screamer ~]# yum install hplip3-libs
