Well, I've got 15.4 going well enough (all updates installed) to try to tackle printing. Years ago I bought a Canon ImageClass MF 5950DW, which is not directly supported by OpenSUSE. I don't give up easily, SUSE does not support my printer directly. But I found: https://printerdrivers.com/canon-imageclass-mf5950dw-drivers-download/[1] which are (supposedly) drivers for linux. (sorry, but the file is copy protected so I can't copy and paste from it) Anyway, it says: "When you have downloaded the particularly needed software, connect the printer" ...and here I don't know what the "paritcularly needed software" is, because they don't say. So, any help will be appreciated. Many thanks, Mark -- A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart. -------- [1] https://printerdrivers.com/canon-imageclass-mf5950dw-drivers-download/

Well above that they say "Download ... from Canon Website" so my guess would be to start there?
