I think this is because there are no scanning tools installed. If you run 'yum install xsane' to install one, does hp-toolbox start correctly?
Yep, that was it, I installed xsane and the hp-toolbox gui came up. Thanks!
Great. I found a fix that went into HPLIP 2.7.7 that's relevant to this, and I've backported it to the F-7 package. If I do another HPLIP update for F-7, this will get in.
hplip-1.7.4a-5.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
