Well, I have installed hplip in my SL 4 system, and I think it will be needed to all users 
who own HP printers. :-) However I did not get any error or failure messages in the SL 5 
Alpha Live-CD (I do not remember if hplip is running in Live-CD or not).

It was hanging during boot, before X.Org was loaded. However it did not hang to me now. 
Either it was fixed since then (the .iso was republished) or I was getting the error under 
a virtual machine. I am not sure. In any case I had not any hanging now.
