Use yum not rpm. And that package is bad as it has a dependency on lpinfo being installed but does not say so, so the install does not pull in the dependency. Run yum provides '*/lpinfo' to discover the correct package and install that first.

Tried but it doest not work either. Output is given as below:

[root@localhost abhijit]# yum provides '*/lpinfo'
