Okay, I've gone through the link and gotten everything on my end square 
for testing.

Printer is now static IP and, using "yum install system-config-print 
cups hpijs", I can print from any machine.

Installed hplip, hplip-gui, and xsane.

On my F14 system, I can hook up a CanoScan N1240 LIDE30 via USB and 
xsane works (very nicely, I might add). However, neither the F14 or F16 
systems will see any printer or scanner running hp-setup or xsane. 
Which, in the case of the printer, is really odd as the admin->printer 
clearly shows the networked printer.

The new Firefox 10.0.1 on F16 almost freezes up the whole system when I 
try to access the scanner's ip. No such problem on F14 or XP (which are 
using 3.6.27). I see 10.0.2 has jsut been releases and I'll wait for it 
to show up via yum. Obviously, a different problem, but just makes 
working on this one a bit harder).

One thing I did notice was I could not find a confirm that HP 7510 was 
working with xsane, just a memo that it was well handled in hplip. So I 
figure I've got to first get hp-setup to see the 7510.

That being said, I am 100% functional for printing and, given that I 
only scan about 20 items a year, using the F14 or XP box is quite 
acceptable. Not certain if my continued effort is actually going to gain 
me anything except personal satisfaction.

If anyone has a HP 7510 running as networked (wireless into a router) 
and can run hp-setup, I'd appreciate knowing so I can see if I am 
missing something.

Thanks,
Paul
