Hello; For years I've used a printer w/ parallel port, but I had to replace it with a new HP.

I have a simple network

Apple Wireless router from comcast modem. Wireless bridge to a second Apple wireless router. This bridge has ethernet to SuSE 13.1 linux box. This bridge has USB connector to new HP printer. Also can connect one of several ethernet ports on bridge to HP printer.

Wireless Mac talks to Linux box, Wireless Mac talks to printer.

Cannot configure printer to communicate with Linux box, Linux box does not see printer in YAST. What is the transparent way to set up a printer on a Linux box?

What ip address does the bridge provide for the printer

I perfer hplip and install the network printer using the printer's ip address.

Thanks, I will try to determine that. I suppose I need to use ifconfig to find the device and its address. Yes, I see that hplip is discussed, but I thought that it was just a bunch of drivers. I'll see if I can find something about that, too. It seems to be part of YAST, one can select that if one has an HP printer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi We got a new hp envy to a 13.2 installed by wireless. For the first stage, it has nothing to do with any computer. Place the printer next to the router and turn it on. It will ask you to put the wifi password. Then go to yast, printer, print via network and just take what it says. On 13.2 we needed to update cups: http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/Printing/openSUSE_13.2/cups.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A13.2&query=cups (you have to use firefox) We wasted a lot of time in yast. If you try something else, you must reboot, otherwise the settings do not take effect.

I prefer a permanent/known IP for printers. That should be outside the DHCP range your router hands out to clients.

better is to not to depend on a third party router that you are uncertain of its configuration. If it is really set up as a bridge, then you can internally configure your own internal private IP space with a DHCPD service. They you KNOW what is going on. This network configuration, which was described initially as "simple" is not simple it is chaos.

Ruben

It is here; http://www.sci-experiments.com/SimpleNetwork.pdf It has worked fine for nearly 20 years since I first started using Caldera. It has required several router changes; each one took ten minutes to reconfigure. I see nothing chaotic about it.

If the printer has its own ethernet port, connect that to the router, not via USB. You will lose printer features if you do.

Did this. One click on the Mac to remove the USB printer, another click to add the network printer. Still invisible on SuSE. Then plugged USB port on printer into linux box.

Probably because the firewall blocks the broadcast address used to find out where printers are. You have to tell YaST where the printer is (the IP).

Disabled the firewall. Printer invisible.

The IP is configured in the printer panel.

If you connect the printer via USB to the router via USB, then it is the IP of the router.

Yes, I plugged the USB port on the printer into a USB port on the linux box and then asked YAST to go find printers. It finds the printer, tells me the make, model and serial number, but then cannot find a driver.

What model is your printer? You still have not said, or I did not see it.

I think so, I will check again.

I don't understand this part.

Nor do I. There is a button in the printer set-up in YAST that says if you have an HP printer then you can use the HP printer setup. I click on that and it searches for HP printers, and doesn't fine any, in spite of YAST at least seeing the printer.

Ok... but you have to choose, either cable or wifi. And you must ensure that it either has a fixed IP, or that the router assigns it always the same IP.

Just tell YaST the IP address of the printer.

If I knew the IP address of the printer, I would do that. Below you say "If you connect the printer via USB to the router via USB, then it is the IP of the router. " I know the IP address of the router. When I do that, SuSE can find the printer. I can even assign a driver, but the printer doesn't then print. Whatever happened to the thing called a "print manager" that showed the status of the printer and the various print jobs in the queue?

...

If you connect the printer via USB to the router via USB, then it is the IP of the router.

I will try that, too.

I would not recommend it.

Well, CUPS is designed by Apple... But they are more interested in their pay market than the Linux "market".

On http://www.openprinting.org/printers/manufacturer/HP that model is not listed. This is bad news.

2. I am using the USB port on the router and the USB port on the linux box. This way I know the IP address of the router and Carlos say it's the same as the USB port on the router.

Unplug the usb, then query the router for the wireless address of the printer, or using the front screen of the printer to determine it's address.

3. In print queue setup in YAST, I try to print a test page, which fails. I click on "failed test page" and YAST gives a diagnostic window, says "printing job #___, printer is busy".

Do not use yast, as root from the cl use hp-setup select 2nd option "Network/Ethernet/Wireless...." select "Show Advanced Options" select "Manual Discovery" type the ip address in the window, leave the port as is. Next You should be able to follow the rest on your own.

Using a new printer on a Mac is notoriously easy. I wonder if your success printing on the Mac is actually because it's using Apple AirPrint™ rather than a conventional network connection?

Hi Not sure what limits your talking about, the router covers any usb printer or hard drive.

I've got an apple airport extreme router here for testing, when I hooked up my old HP all-in-one scanner printer to the usb port on it, point a linux system at it port 9100 I see it fine.

In the past I've hooked up a usb hub as well and connected drivers and printers, all can be seen via the router config tool and can be seen on the local network...

Anyway, sounds like the issue is solved for the OP...

It is solved for the better. Patrick showed me how to get the IP address of the printer, and that pretty much solved it along with a few other items. Thanks all. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

NONONONO! You can connect your printer directly via USB to your computer, but then other machines will not be able to use it. So better do not do it.

13.1 has 3.13.10. The printing repo for 13.1 has 3.15.4, so if you decide to update hplip, use that one. From the Printing repo.
