If you choose a printer that talks postscript via the network, you do not need to install hplip. Mine worked out of the box, with cups.
Later I installed it, but I do not use their applet. Instead, the printer has its own web page for control, and I use that.
As long as you are only talking about JUST printers that might be true. (However even then, some functionality is often lost, such as two-sided printing, etc.) Once you venture into an All-in-One sort of device, you end up sacrificing functionality with the ppd-Only route . - -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlVFI18ACgkQv7M3G5+2DLJ0eACeM+4acIavI3SzArQDeuImqO62 2AwAnA/cBsuYY7XZ9/NPHfX84U2zsw/T =Gv7q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
