HP Deskjet F4140 , can't setup in FC13


FC13-i686/KDE

Can't install a HP Deskjet F4140 in FC13.

I have installed;

1. All Cups rpm's
2. Gutenprint-cups
3. All the hplip rpms
4. hpijs

And I still can't get the HP Deskjet F4140 to show up in Selection Window.
I have even run HP-Setup and it can't install the F4140 .
HP-Setup can see the F4140 is on USB port but can't install it.

I went to the HP website and it says the printer is Supported in the hplip drivers

What are you using to try to set up the printer? Having used Fedora since its inception, I've found that sometimes system-config-printer works, sometimes it doesn't. Same for cups in the browser.
Guess I lucked out this time; with both F13 and Rawhide, the automatic setup just works with my HP Photosmart D7260.

Neither Cups Server or HP-Setup works, because the printer is not listed in the Selection Menu.

that is very odd because i see
"HP Deskjet f4100 series hpijs"
"HP Deskjet f4100 series hpcups"
in my cups web interface
http://localhost:631

it IS listed on the third window in the LONG list

My install also shows the F4100 also but it does not show F4140 which I have.

And the driver for the F4100 won't work on the F4140

Has anyone installed the hplip.run driver from HP ?

They only show the hplip.run for FC12 will this driver work for FC13 ?

And do I have to uninstall any hplip rpms I have installed from Fedora Repo ?

And something that puzzles me is their driver, It is hplip.run-3.10.5 the same version that is in FC13, but FC13 does not support the Deskjet F4140.
