I don't know what exactly a "HP 5800" is but when you have a HP DeskJet 5800 it is supported since HPLIP version 0.9.5, see http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/combined.html and openSUSE 10.2 provides HPLIP version 1.6.10. Therefore I wonder why you need the newest HPLIP at all? Regardless why you need the newest HPLIP, perhaps you like to use readymade RPMs? For a clean upgrade do: To be safe you may stop the cupsd. In any case stop running hplip daemons (hpiod/hpssd). Remove old RPMs. Remove any installed files from your failed attempts. Install the new RPMs. Start the hplip services and start or re-start the cupsd. Set up you device running "hp-setup" as user "root". I provide for testing HPLIP 1.7.4 for the released openSUSE 10.2 and Suse Linux 10.1 and Suse Linux Enterprise 10 (SLE 10) and for the openSUSE development version openSUSE "factory" for 32-bit Intel compatible (i586) and 64-bit AMD (x86_64) via the openSUSE build service at http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/ The packages are * only for testing * without any guarantee or warranty * without any support As an extreme example, this means that if your complete computer center crashes because of these packages, it is only your problem. Nevertheless, I am very interested in your feedback because the more people test it, the more problems (even hidden problems) are revealed. To send me feedback or bug reports, please follow the instructions in http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports Choose the component "Printing" (also for scanning/faxing with HPLIP). Make it obvious which package, which package version, which hardware architecture and which openSUSE version you are talking about - e.g.: "Feedback regarding hplip-1.7.4-2.1.i586.rpm and hplip-hpijs-1.7.4-2.1.i586.rpm from http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/jsmeix/ for openSUSE 10.2 used on 64-bit AMD hardware." Ideally provide the "rpm -q --changelog hplip | head" output to make it obvious which exact package release you have.
