Summary | hp 1220 bad setup | HP LaserJet 1220 USB printer-scanner requires some manual setup actions |
OS | Other | openSUSE 13.1 |
For all-in-one devices the printer unit and the scanner unit must be set up separated (a print queue for the printer unit and a scanner driver for the scanner unit). Only some scanners are set up automatically (via the sane-backends-autoconfig RPM package) but most scanners are not set up automatically. Usually you must manually set up a scanner. For general information see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners There is no generic way how to autodetect when there is an optional PostScript unit in a printer device. Therefore you must manually set it up as PostScript printer. See also "Driver" at https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Printer and "Printer drivers: Make the printer print" at https://en.opensuse.org/Concepts_printing HP's optional tools are not installed by default. Therefore you must manually install HP's optional tools (i.e. you must manually install the hplip RPM package). Regarding multiple printer setup tools: Usually there is no real conflict when multiple printer setup tools are installed at the same time. See also "Automated Printer Configuration" at https://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Printer In general regarding how to set up HP all-in-one devices see https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:How_to_set-up_a_HP_printer In general regarding bug reports versus asking support questions see https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports We (i.e. openSUSE) distribute HP's HPLIP software for HP printers and HP all-in-one devices but we do not develop it. In case of issues with HPLIP, you should report them directly to HP via http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/support.html so that there is a direct communication between you and the upstream authors. I close this bug report as "invalid" because the described issues are no real bugs (at least no bugs for openSUSE).
