XBMC on Fedora 15 (upgrade from Fedora 14)

After upgrading from Fedora 14 to 15, XBMC stopped working with the error below -

/usr/lib64/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libopenjpeg.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

An update of xbmc didn't solve the problem.
However, a subsequent update of vlc did -

Installed Packages
vlc.x86_64                                               1.1.11-1.fc14                                               @rpmfusion-free-updates/14
Available Packages
vlc.x86_64                                               1.1.11-1.fc15                                               rpmfusion-free-updates    

Actually it may have been a broken spotify repo, that led to such updates not happening automatically.

HP Laserjet M1005MFP on Fedora 15

All looked good for my printer on Fedora 15 - on plugging it in, it was detected and some installation occurred. Unfortunately when trying to print it failed, and lpstat gave the info below -


[steve@aspireone753 ~]$ lpstat -t

A further check in /var/log/messages revealed -
