Can't get printer to work in Slackware.


I am running Slackware 10.2 with a networked HP 7210xi. I've installed hplip, and I tried accessing the printer with the address: 169.254.144.33 which I found in my SUSE install which works fine.

Here is the output of hp-check

Printer Device URI HPLIP Installed?
-------- -------------------------- --------------------
hp7200 http://169.254.144.33:9100 No
hp7210 http://169.254.144.33:9100 No
hp7210xi http://169.254.144.33:9100 No
hp:7210 http://169.254.144.33:9100 No

Note: Any CUPS queues that are not 'HPLIP Installed', must be installed
with the 'hp:' or 'hpfax:' backends to have them work in HPLIP. Refer
to the install instructions on http://hplip.sourceforge.net for more help.

If any errors or warnings were reported, please refer to the installation instructions at:
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/index.html
I did look to the link suggested in the last line but I am unable to find a solution! Also, the 4 printers listed are just a few of the setups I have tried. I edited the 1 error, and the 1 warning with ***** so you can find it . It appears that hplip is listed as 'no' in each case, but when I try:
/ect/rc.d/rc.hplip
Code:
Stopping hpiod:                                            [  OK  ]
Stopping hpssd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting hpiod:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting hpssd:                                            [  OK  ]

What should I do next?

/edit
Sorry, forgot to mention I can't find 'snmp*.tgz' here is the link I triedhttp://www.linuxpackages.net/search_...15&position=75
I found libsnmp-1.0.3.tar.gz at: http://seafelt.unicity.com.au/downloads
but I don't know how to install it, I tried after extracting it:
Code:
/home/jon/sibsnmp-1.0.3/python setup.py install
but I received an error as root:
Code:
/home/jon/libsnmp-1.0.3/python: No such file or directory
Where did I go wrong?
