I tried to configure on CUPS web-interface and command line but both are failure to print, the printer drive was downloaded in www.linuxprinting.org, the driver name is HP-DeskJet_F300-hpijs.ppd and put into /usr/share/cups/model/, the CUPS web-interface can detect my printer and also the following command line can detect too:
what version of hplip are you using..I had the same problem with cups seeing my printer but not letting me print until I downgraded to 0.97 version of hplip

I trying to install HPLIP, the following error that tell me not
install libjpeg and libusb, but I installed both by tarball,
any suggestion about the both lib ?
double check the ./configure for the libs and see if they were installed in the default dir for your distrobution.
for example..I use gentoo..if I install something from tarball .sometimes a package will be installed in /usr/share/lib and the default for gentoo is usr/lib..
