[opensuse-support] where should .ppd files be put

I'm trying to install two printers, for which I have .ppd.gz files. The printers that apparently exist in TW dated 2020-0826 are mostly obsolete. There is nothing listed for Epson at all. It seems that in a previous generation of TW, there was at least a listing of my HP printer, and someone on the list pointed out where it was, but the Find Files app cannot find any other listing now. (There is only one HP--a color laser.) I need to install an HP LaserJet Pro M201dw and an Epson WP4530 all-in-one, including the scanner on it. All input greatly appreciated. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Use the YaST printer module, and make sure that yast says the hplip package is installed, and whatever additional printer packages. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
