Does the printer expect authorization via WPA? If so, you may need the wpa_supplicant package. Next, have you tried configuring the connection in YAST (either as a wireless device or as a printer)?
no, it doesn't. It is an option, but one can enter all settings manually, the printer itself is connected to my w-lan, It appears in the list of connected devices on my router. It seems to be opensuse specific, since Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and derivates showed none of my current problems.
I also tried to set up the printer with YaST. The setup is actually no problem, the communication with the printer is one.
Weird. The computer does not directly communicate with the printer via wifi, it communicates with the router, and this one forwards do the printer. It should be irrelevant what network technology is used. Find out if cups is permanently enabled: systemctl status cups.service (from memory, watch for typos) Try ping the printer with wifi network enabled. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
