Doug, Two general points first: * Please note that it is openSUSE, not OpenSUSE. * Please don't muddle discussions in a single thread by introducing new issues unrelated to your original post. Start a new thread for a new issue you want help with. This also helps with future searches for similar issues in the mailing list archives. Now...

I would say that the latest version of the s/w is more difficult to maneuver around than the last. If the old computer hadn't died, I'd still be using the (updated) edition of 2019. I managed to get both printers and the scanner working in the 2019 version; not yet working in the 2020 edition. (The packaged lists of printers for both HP and Epson are even older than I can remember!
If you mean the packaged list of drivers for HP and Epson available on TW, I have no idea what leads you to believe this. These drivers are provided by the gutenprint package, which is at version 5.2.15-RC0 (or version 5.2.14Pre15.1 as it is called for technical reasons) in TW. I have just now submitted an update for the slightly more recent version 5.2.15, but really neither of these are all that old. Indeed, nothing much seems to have changed as far this particular package is concerned between Mar 29 2019 and now, so it is surprising that your printers and scanners worked in 2019 but does not any more. In any case, the list of supported HP printers is pretty up to date -- I checked that a multiple printers available from the HP website is already supported by the version of gutenprint available in TW. Haven't checked Epson's.
And HP expects me to have Windows, MAC, or UNIX--Linux is not even on the horizon in their present "guidance.")
This should be unnecessary. The gutenprint drivers or those from hplip package should be all you need.
