  hplip-3.14.6-3.el6.i686.rpm 
<http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/scientific/6rolling/i386/os/Packages/hplip-3.14.6-3.el6.i686.rpm>    is what I currently find on 6 rolling --

hplip-3.14.6-3.el6.i686.rpm 
<http://mirror.lug.udel.edu/pub/centos/6.7/os/i386/Packages/hplip-3.14.6-3.el6.i686.rpm>  also is what I find for CentOS 6.7

whereas the minimum is HPLIP 3.14,10 .

Although the official release  is 3.14.6 (too low for the M225dw), there 
are "unofficial" releases up to 13.5.6 ("unofficial" more or less 
corresponds to non-RH/CentOS/SL RPMs not from vendors such as HP but 
that many of us in fact install). This comparison between OpenSUSE and 
SL is NOT an advertisement or suggestion for OpenSUSE over SL -- now 
that I am running both, I personally prefer SL.  SUSE support, even for 
the licensed for fee Enterprise version, is much, much poorer than what 
one gets from this SL listserver, at least if one is knowledgeable.  
Moreover, as far as I can tell, the SUSE patterns method for installing 
an application and the dependencies thereto is not as functional as the 
yum equivalent -- it will install everything, but there is no inverse to 
remove everything thereby installed.  Note that no one at SUSE/OpenSUSE 
has responded on how to automatically undo a "pattern" (manually 
selecting each package/rpm from a GUI one by one from a list and then 
starting the removal process is *NOT* automatic).

Thanks,

Yasha
