CentOS 5 includes hplip-1.6.7. I need at least hplip-2.7.10 which I have
had to install via tarball. Is there any plans to update this package
soon?

Our goal is to be 100% directly compatible with the upstream EL software. So, the short answer is ... I have no idea when or if they will put that in a current product.

If you want to know what MIGHT be in CentOS-6 (still probably 6-8 months away) you can look in Fedora 9. The version there (in what is called Rawhide) is currently hplip-2.7.12-5.fc9.src.rpm:

I would imagine something close to that will be in CentOS-6.

Remember that these things will likely never make it into already released versions of centos .. as enterprise versions STAY with what is released throughout their lifetime.
