Hi, 

I would like to get an old research machine to be able to print to (and
perhaps scan from) a HP LaserJet 3390 over the network. The machine I
need to configure is a hodgepodge of 7.3 and 8.0 RPMs (with a splash of
Mandrake and some Ximian for good measure) 

I've walked through the manual install how-to guide
(http://hplip.sourceforge.net/install/manual/distros/redhat.html) making
sure to update the dependencies where needed and install everything on
the lists. However, I got to step 10 and balked: 

"Build hplip with no network and no fax support. Use hplip-1.6.6a or
newer."

I need the machine to be able to print/scan over the network; using the
USB connection is impossible.Is there a reason why old Redhat machines
cannot compile with network? 

I tried to compile HPLIP 1.7.3 with network support enabled, and ran
into an error about 'no net-snmp' available. I hopped over to the
net-snmp site and compiled and installed the package. I also needed a
python interpreter >= 2.2, so I installed that as well. I configured 

>./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-fax-build

It configured a-ok. 

>make

I have no idea what this is or how to fix it. I've reached a state of
stuck-ness. Can anyone offer assistance?

Cheers, 
Ethan
