This is free software, and you are welcome to distribute it

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).

| SUMMARY |
-----------

error: 5 errors and/or warnings.

Summary of needed commands to run to satisfy missing dependencies:
su -c "/sbin/modprobe ppdev"
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install sane-backends"
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install sane-backends-devel"
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install sane-frontends"
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install xsane"

Please refer to the installation instructions at:
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html

Done.
[hans@obelix ~]$

It looks like the scanner functionality was disabled during the install. Try re-installing HPLIP again. You may want to run:

su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install sane-backends"
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install sane-backends-devel"
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install sane-frontends"
su -c "yum -y -d 10 -e 1 install xsane"

before running the installer again. There may have been a problem with the installer downloading the needed sane files and the installer then disabled scanning because of the missing packages. If you get an error with the commands above make sure that your Fedora 8 repos are working correctly.

Hope this helps.
