Well for starters RHL9 is not supported by Red Hat any longer support ended
the end of April 2004. With that said visit; http://www.fedoralegacy.org/
to find the rpm (an older version but should be OK)
And to get the printer configured you can read the manuals and check at
LinuxPrinting.org
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-OfficeJet_5500
And you need to install the RAW Unix printing support in Windows on the
system that has the printer connected.
