Ignore Windows. Look at yast, you'll probably find a CUPS entry for it or something close enough to work. I'm using a HP printer, a 1012 model, that my lawyer gave me when Windows 2000 made it abandonware. It does 12PPM (or something like that) and my complete cost has been a replacement toner cartridge four or five years ago.
Bill and Carlos: I did find a listing on the HP website that says the printer file exists--how to get it I didn't
discover--but the problem is more basic: the computer can't see the printer. The printer can do a self-test
print, but Yast can't see it. I may have to junk the old beast, but it was running when I took it out
of service to add a new HP that could print on both sides. (Windows can't see it either.) Is there any way
to verify that the computer CAN actually reach the machine?
YaST almost never sees any network printer. You have to tell YaST the address of the printer. Testing? Point firefox at the IP of the printer; if it is a networked printer you should see a web page of your printer. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from oS Leap 15.2 x86_64 (Minas Tirith))
