Hi:

No success. I waited hours for hplip to compile/install and nothing :(

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).
