+Maybe easiest thing is to do the following:
+urpmi --buildrequires 
+ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/1/SRPMS/core/updates/hplip-3.11.7-1.2.mga1.src.rpm
+(You can also use another mirror if you prefer) This should install all 
+required packages to get hplip to install.
+
+The problem is, if i don't know WHY hplip does not work for you on Mageia,
+this simply means i can't fix it. Simple as that. This is why i'm trying to 
+help you
+find out the cause of the problem.
