HP printers on Linux using HPLIP getting a dbus error on configure

I've been trying to get printing working on my Fedora 7 box and have
been having no luck. I downloaded the latest version of HPLIP from the
HP website and tried to do the install. I kept getting an error while
the script was running the configure command. It kept complaining about
dbus support.

I finally figured out a workaround by eliminating dbus altogether. Watch
the commands it brings on the screen and copy the line that starts with
'./configure'. It will probably be pretty long. Change the following in
the command line:

--enable-fax-support ===> --disable-fax-support
--enable-dbus-support ===> --disable-dbus-support

then manually run the ./configure command.

If successful, do a make, then a make install.

To configure your printer type 'hp-setup' (without quotes) from a
terminal window and use the gui interface to find and add your
printer(s).
